RE: Kernel panic on install, Dell Poweredge 350
This happened on a fresh CDROM install of a brand new server with no OS
installed. Potato 2.2r5.
I fixed it by booting up with a win98 boot disk with CDROM support, and
then running D:\install\boot.bat from the CDROM. That worked perfectly.
I'm not really sure what the original CD install was trying to mount,
but can't you figure it out from those numbers? Isn't it hex or
something? I think I saw something like that searching google.

that's a pretty common error if you've borked your kernel install.
It means that either you don't have drivers for your hard disk built
in the kernel, or that you don't have drivers for your filesystem built
into the kernel.
Drivers for hard drive, and root fs _must_ be in the kernel, as it's
kind of hard to load them from an unmounted partition that you don't
know how to talk to.
