So far no luck. forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=89538 caries an identical problem. Our boot screen shows the following:
SCSI subsystem initialized Loading sd_mod.ko module Loading jbd.ko module Loading ext3.ko module Creating root device mkrootdev: label / not found Mounting root filesystem mount: error 2 mounting ext3 Switching to new root ERROR opening /dev/console!!!!: 2 error dup2'ing fd of 0 to 0 error dup2'ing fd of 0 to 1 error dup2'ing fd of 0 to 2 unmounting old /proc unmountin old /sys switchroot: mount failed: 22 Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
[and some trace info]
We have only a binary driver for the controllers. Moving to the appropriate modules directory for the new kernel does not work
For other suggestions: yes -- SCSI yes -- raid yes -- have aliases in /etc/modprobe.conf for both controllers yes -- we have tried mkinitrd but it cannot find the .ko driver with or without full path name and using the --with parameter.
More suggestions?

We have a High Point Sata controller. When we boot up with an updated kernel, the OS reports that it cannot find the disk.
How do we tell the new kernel at boot up where to find the driver?
Details: grub can see the available kernels; booting on the old kernel works; booting with the new kernel gives the cannot find disk message.
