Subj : Fedora Core 2 CD won't boot
To   : comp.os.linux
From : myk
Date : Thu Jul 22 2004 08:48 pm

At first I could get the CD to boot and begin the install. But whether
I chose graphic or text, the installer would load aix777.o(?) for my
ancient scsi card and the hang at a blue screen with "Welcome to
Fedora Core" at the top and the move/select/continue instructions at
the bottom.

I removed the scsi card and I got to "running /sbin/loader" and it
hangs
Then I tried the noprobe option to the kernel and now I get:

VFS:Cannot open root device "<NULL>" or unknown-block(72,3)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable tomount root fs on unknown-block(72,3)

OK, I've installed Redhat, Mandrake, Fedora and Gentoo, but I've never
run into this...

HELP!
