Could anyone give me a brief on the general procedure of troubleshooting the following problem? When my machine boots up, Linux is auto-probing the hardware, then it stops and pops up an error message "Kernel Panic......VFS........" I tried to use a 'rescue' disk and did the e2fsck, but it said the '/' partition was clean. I could mount the '/' partition and navigate the directories, but just can't boot up? What could be wrong? Many thanks for your help!
