We need more info. Can you supply your grub.conf (or the config for whatever bootloader you are using?) Also, are you sure your kernel is correctly configured for the hard drive? You probably either have a typo in your bootloader config, or you have a misconfigured kernel. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Daniel Corda Sent: Friday, August 08, 2008 2:05 PM To: lfs-support@linuxfromscratch.org Subject: I really need help kernel panic

I have a lenovo/ibm t60 it has a scsi hardrive the partitions are as follows /dev/sda2/ ext3 /dev/sda1 extended /dev/sda5/ ext3 boot partition with lfs /dev/sda6/ swap sda 5 and 6 are in extended partition 1 I really do not know if this information is relevant but i noticed that my boot partitions type is ext3 and it is using vfs I enabled vfs as a module for compatibility. I have looked at a couple of forum conversations. please I really appreciate any solutions or idea on what to fix this problem. Thank you so much.
