Re: 2.6.6 on Dell Latitude D600



There is another possibility which I guess may be the case, as it
happened to me the same...

Do you have the "initrd" file?  You need it for the module that
recognizes your root file system to be loaded before the kernel can
mount the root fs.

Take a look on the "mkinitrd" man page  :-)
