Well basically i have two problems... 1. Whenever I try to install linux, i always get a kernel panic error (unable to load root filesystem) whichever mode i tried....text, expert, rescue....its still the same problem... The config of this machine is 10 GB HDD as primary Master                                            20 GB HDD as primary slave cd rom is secondary master 2.  On my own machine, amd 400Mhz, 64 Mb ram, i am running linux successfully, uptil redhat 7.1. now after upgrading to 7.2 (also a clean install) i am unable to Acccess my CDROM drive, i always get "/dev/cdrom is not a valid block device" whenever i try to mount it... hoping for some helpful answers from the linux gurus out there....
