How...
....anyone please help me!!!

I search at Google but all anwser for this problem is about compiling the
suport for reiserfs as module and i compile this in the kernel, and
checking the correct root option (the correct / partition(mine is
/dev/hda2)).

I compiled the kernel 2.6.5 on my Slackware current but when a reboot my
machine i get the folow error:

<---------------------------->
hda: unknown partition table
..
..
..
VFS: Cannot open device "302" or hda2
Please append a correct "root=" bootoption
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on hda2
<---------------------------->
my lilo conf:

<------------------------->
boot=/dev/hda
..
..
..
image=/boot/vmlinuz
root=/dev/hda2
label=Linux2.6.5
read-only
<------------------------->
my fstab
<------------------------->
/dev/hda4 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/hda2 / reiserfs defaults 1 1
/dev/hda1 /home reiserfs defaults 1 2
/dev/hda3 /usr reiserfs defaults 1 2
<------------------------->
i compiled the support for reiserfs in the kernel(not as module).

So...anyone, please, can help me?

I think I got this same error recently using a 2.6.X kernel. Confused
me to no end, because I've never had that trouble with 2.4.X kernels
and reiserfs. Turns out, I hadn't compiled in support for my chipset.
I'll bet you doughnuts to dollars that's your problem too.

I have the same problem! And I never have had problems with 2.4.x.

Hey thx for the anwser..I find the "sources" of problem...if you have this
error too, in 2.6.x try this:

1-Compiled the IDE support for card in Kernel
2-Enable the compile of option "Advanced Partition Selection -> PC
BIOS Partition Tables" in Kernel
3-Remove the DDO from HD (this works in 2.4 for me but not in 2.6)

and, one more time, thx for the replies ..and sorry for my english ^_^'
