There is no error message through dmesg > error.log because kernel panic
occurs while trying to mount the root fs, before all other partitions are
mounted, and is fixable only with a reboot.
However, I wrote the message down, and it appears that the partition check
that is ran by 2.2.10 kernel is wrong.
Partition check:
hda: hda1
hdb: hdb1 hdb2 hdb3 <> hdb4
hdc: hdc1 hdc2 <hdc5>
[MS-DOS FS Rel. 12, FAT 16, check=n, conv=b, uid=0, gid=0,umask=022]
[me=0x1b, cs=6649, #f=221 , fs=23683, fl=1714243, ds=379592282, de=37899,
data=37959, se=38384, tf=-570602308, ls=56158, rc=0,fc=4294967295]
Transaction block size = 512

Kernel panic: VFS: unable to mount root fs on 03:42
Now , here is the partition check that is dmesg'ed while 2.0.36 is
booting:
Partition check:
hda: hda1
hdb: hdb1 hdb2 hdb3 <hdb5> hdb4
hdc: hdc1 hdc2 <hdc5>
Obviosly one of the partitions is not found. Any idea why?
