[Lustre-discuss] How to use the openSuse 10.3 kernel.

[Arden Wiebe]

After doing a mkinitrd and rebooting I still fail to load the lustre openSuse 10.3 kernel.  It fails when asking:

Want me to fall back to /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA y/n

I have tried editing my fstab and menu.lst file.  Is there anything else I must edit?

lustrefour:~ # cat /etc/fstab
/dev/sda1            /                    ext3       acl,user_xattr        1 1

I would try an "mkinitrd".
