I have a kernel panic: VFS: Cannot open root device "hda6" or 03:06 Please append a correct "root=" boot option Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 03:06.
Now I've tried different root options to cover all of them including what was once /. Nothing works. I was building a custom kernel and ran dpkg -i ../kernel-image... just like I have so many times before. But something didn't go very well. For now, what exactly do I do to recover from this and have a working kernel on my hard drive? I have a debian 2.2.r3 and 2.2.r2 CD-ROMS and another computer (obviously) to work from. But no 'rescue' disks for the defunct PC (different CPU than the rest). I was running 2.4.9.
