I compiled the 3.7 elf kernel. Sometimes I get compile errors with
certain scsi options. But If I get around the compile errors by
specifying the options that the kernel likes the I get VFS is unable to
mount root. Also I have a pci/NCR scsi controller that the generic scsi
boot image for floppy for linux recognizes it fine but mp previous 1.2.13
kernel wouldn't see eventhough I had specified the proper option for scsi
controller in the kernel config when compiling it. Any ideas? why does
the kernel panic when it trys to mount root?
