Are SCSI only computers supported by f10 ?

[Genes MailLists]

I tried to install f10 on a scsi (dell with adaptec scsi controllers)
only computer today .. install seemed to go fine - however upon
rebooting I get this lovely message :

mount: error mounting /dev/root on /sysroot as ext3: No such file or
directory

After googling a bit - and reading

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=466607

I tried the following all to no avail:

1) created a new initrd including "scsi_wait_scan" module

I used live cd to do this. But, same problem

2) I tried to boot live cd and attempt to update the install hoping
that newer versions coreutils, kernel, nash, fakeroot or hal-info might
help ... but:

I mounted the installed root directory and chrooted to it.

However neither yum nor rpm will work in a chrooted environment.
      in the live boot cd - is there any way to update the install on
the hard drive ?

Appreciate any help booting this lovely pc .. please ?

This machine was happily running fedora 6 ...

thanks for any help.

I'm not sure if this is the what you mean, but what I did
(following advice in
http://fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?p=1125626)
was to run
sudo mkinitrd --with=scsi_wait_scan -f
  /boot/initrd-2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i686.img 2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i686
[one line].

My SCSI machine booted fine after that,
though it was confused about the disks on my machine.
(I had an IDE disk in the machine, which I use for backup,
and this became sda, while what had been sda became sdb.)

Thanks - as I said in (1) - i tried making a new initrd with that
module loaded into it.

It didnt work for me.
