It looks like your system is trying to boot to a 2nd SCSI disk ( sd1 ) while it's configured to boot to the first. s trying to boot to a 2nd SCSI disk ( sd1 ) while it's configured to boot to the first. Can you give more information about your system..ie: how many drives; how they're partitioned, etc. If your kernel is on your second disk you can boot to it at the "boot": prompt by typing sd(1,a)/kernel. You'll also have to have config kernel root on sd1 in your kernel config file. (if / is in fact on sd1) Are you able to boot GENERIC ? Need more information about your system configuration! Randy
