Is grub your boot loader? If so I would hit "e" at the grub screen to edit your kernel and initrd lines. On my amd64 box I have symlinks in / that point to the actual kernel and initrd. I would try... kernel /vmlinuz root=/dev/md0 ro and... initrd /initrd.img Just a shot, not sure if that will work there or not. > From: Erico Schuch [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, December 13, 2006 11:54 AM > To: Erico Schuch > Cc: Morgan Walker; debian-user@lists.debian.org > Subject: Re: Kernel Panic > > > > Erico Schuch escreveu: > > Same as I have. > > Correction....
