This is a Linux bug or a user mistake.  Closing.

Hi, Nick.  Are you certain that this kernel has SCSI support compiled in (i.e, is it the same kernel that works when running with LILO)?  Are you able to boot without using an initrd?  What are you using the initrd for?

I have a linux box running, that originally installs with lilo, so I know all the files work.

When I install grub and try to boot. I give it the follow commands


kernel /vmlinux-.... root=/dev/sda6
initrd /ini....
boot

It does not mount the root file system and has a VFS kernel panic.  I check the /etc/fstab and double check to make sure    my arguments are correct.  It says /dev/sda1 = /boot and /dev/sda6 = / .  Please help me fix the bug.
