Re: Kernel Panic Boot Crisis HELP!!
1. Go to /etc/mkinitrd/mkinitrd.conf
If you have a line ROOT=probe or anything like that, here is where you please
specify that root!
I have an ext3 partition on hdb1 and had the same problem. Changed it to:
ROOT="/dev/hdb1 ext3"
Note that the quotes are necessary for multiple options on this line.
2. Redo your initrd. Command line such as
mkinitrd -o /boot/initrd.img-2.4.16.... /lib/modules/2.4.16....
depending on the kernel flavor your installed Look in /boot.
3. Best to always rerun lilo if this is what you are using.
4. Reboot.
Worked when I had the same problem.
