I mailed a week ago regarding this and have been suffering ever since. I have a working booting woody installation with a 2.2.20-idepci kernel. Then installed a 2.4.20 kernel as a dual boot.
Whenever I select the 2.4.20 kernel, I get the below error: Cannot open root device "302" or 03:02 Please append a correct "root=" boot option Kernel Panic: VFS: unable to mount root fs on 03:02 fs is ext2. Now why does the newer kernel not see the root fs? Has it to with the proc fs not being mounted or some required modules not being loaded. I am not sure if the modules in /etc/modules get loaded before the panic seen below. Wish there was more debug info. What gives? Thanks PS: above kernel panic, I can see FWIW: kswapd VFS: dquot.6.4.0 devfs: boot options : 0x0 RAMDISK DRIVER NET4 -- Eric Smith -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
