3.  Complete the installation
4.  Prompt to create boot disk, eject installation CD and attemp to reboot.

Code: Bad EIP value
VFS: Cannot open root device"" or 08:41
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 08:41

Workaround:  
1)  Ignore the message, power off the server then power back on> seems to 
work fine.
or
2)  Install Redhat 7.1 RC2 WITHOUT the RIB board.

Comment 1 Bryan Leopard 2001-04-06 16:28:14 UTC

The problem seems to be coming from the megaraid driver in the kernel.  It 
looks at the Compaq RIB board and thinks it is a storage controller.

Comment 2 Arjan van de Ven 2001-04-06 16:30:15 UTC

Recent kudzu's should prevent the megaraid driver from loading in this case....
Is there any way to verify that this actually works ?

Comment 3 Bryan Leopard 2001-04-06 19:34:33 UTC

It works with QA0404 > no longer display kernel panic after installation.   Did 
not work with QA0401.

Please close this issue.
