Re: Kernel Panic while booting from 2.6.3
i think that in lilo (grub) you haven't specified the corect root
partition. to identify the root partition you cand use the "df" command
and search for the "/" partition. thet is the one you should use as root.
if you use lilo try to edit lilo.conf and add the folowing line under the
image you want to load
root=/dev/hdax
x means the number coresponding to / partition
