please help with "kernel panic: unable to mount fs"

[Dingrong Yi <yidingr@cim.mcgill.ca>]

Hi

I am trying to install rtLinux with rtlinux-2.0-prepatched.tgz.
However, I tried many times during the last month but still could not
boot the kernel. In my computer I have NT98, linux, now adding rtLinux.
I have adaptec aha 2900 SCSI card and works well with linux.

The problem like this:

partion check:
NTFS version 990411
request_module (block-major-8]: Root fs not mounted.
VFS: can not open root device 08:03
kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 08:03.

and stop there forever. Even though in my lilo.conf, it is told to boot
from /dev/sda3, but it seems to me  it still  goes to  the NT. I guess
this problem might relate to my SCSI card that not supported by rtLinux.


Any suggestions or experiences are appreciated.

Thanks.

Dingrong
