Till kernel panics because of the lack of root device.   Here is our specs: HW used: ARC1220 ARC1110 on Supermicro X6DH8-XG2, Dual Xeon 3.0GHz   OS distro used: CentOS 4.4 x86_64 Kernel 2.6.19 with hand-crafted config, that we are able to use successfully with kernel 2.6.16.20.   Have you any suggestions to resolve this issue ?   Thanks in advance, Filip Majewski
