Kernel 2.6.5: Unable to mount root fs or unknown-block(0,0)
A couple of questions with respect to the Debian 2.6.5 kernel:
- Why is there no longer an AMD K6 Debian kernel? It appears that only a
K7 kernel is now built, which won't boot on my K6.
- I get the following kernel panic when trying to boot:
Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)
This error has been brought up on this list before[0] and elsewhere[1]
with respect to the 2.6 kernel series, but none of the suggestions I've
found have fixed the problem.
I've also tried a vanilla kernel with the same result, and tried various
kernel configurations as well.
The system in question has a very standard IDE drive setup; grub properly
creates the device map and boot options; the boot device is /dev/hda1.
I've had no problems with the Debian 2.4 kernels.
Can someone help me troubleshoot this?
