I am also receiving the same error. My system also has a scsi drive. As for the scsi driver being loaded, I can not tell, the system moves too quickly, however, I would asume so.

I saw the ramdisk load, but not the scsi module, which leads me to
believe that's the problem.  I'm reverted back to the pr0.9 (which boots
fine) now, and taking a look at the initrd linuxrc.

on a separate note, i noticed the create boot floppy at the end of
install did not work, reporting an error in both the pr0.10test1 and
test2.

Thanks,
Mitchell

Dear Colleagues,

I have tried pr0.10test1 and test2, and always get a kernel panic on
boot:

VFS: Cannot open root device "803" or 08:03
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 08:03

Hm, I've heard a couple reports of this on the PR0.9/RH7.0 installer, but this is the first for the new bits.

I'll try doing a scsi install here and see how it goes.

Do you see the ramdisk and scsi module load before the panic?
