Re: Kernel panic after kernel update.
I have seem this problem on non-ia64 system.
First, check which root partition the kernel is said to use (root=
kernel option).
Then watch the boot process and check how your boot HDD is being
recognized. The most common case is when you try to boot from
root=/dev/hda1, but your HDD is being recognized as, say, /dev/hde1.
On my system I have two IDE controllers and sometimes their recognition
order is being changed.
I have PATA HDD attached to ICH7 controller and DVD-RW to ITE8211. So,
in normal case I have /dev/hde for my HDD and /dev/hda for DVD-RW. But
sometimes ICH7 driver is being loaded before ITE8211, and I get them
switched: /dev/hda for HDD and /dev/hde for DVD-RW, and I get the same
error as you.
