I just installed Gentoo on a machine with SCSI disks and and get "VFS: Cannot open root device "sda2" or unknown-block(0,0)" Here is my partition layout.
| Code: |
/dev/sda1 reiserfs /boot
/dev/sda2 reiserfs /
|
My grub.conf contains
| Code: |
title=Gentoo Linux 2.6.15-gentoo-r8 Splash!
root (hd0,0)
kernel /kernel-2.6.17-gentoo-r3 root=/dev/sda2 hdc=ide-cdrom hdd=ide-cdrom
savedefault
boot

I forgot how to post the kernel config in a way that will not get me banned  But if somebody will reming me I'll do so.
I have reiserfs, scsi disk, OSB4 chipset, generic ide and generic pci support compiled into the kernel. The motherboard is a Super 370DER in a SuperServer 6010H.
What have I missed?
