Re: kernel panic while mounting root fs

[Shao Zhang <shao@cia.com.au>]

just a guess... maybe you have pluged your harddisk into a different slot. it might have changed its name from /dev/hda1 to /dev/hdc1


Have you tried to use the motherboard bios to re-detect all your harddisk?? Have you tried to mount the linux root fs when you booted with 
the rescure disk??
