I'm trying to install CentOS 5 on an Intel DG965W MB, but I'm getting a
kernel panic:
VFS: Cannot open root device "<NULL>" or unknown-block(253,0)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on
unknown-block(253,0)
I suspect it is because the drive is not being recognized (at all), but
I'm not sure.
I've tried various combinations of flags, including: all-generic-ide,
pci=nommconf, remapping [enabled], irqpoll, acpi=off ...
... but the result is always the same...
Are there issues with this chipset and Centos 5? ( RHEL's HCL is
unhelpful. It was empty, when I checked. )
