I made a dual boot system out of a Win2K box I had. I installed sarge
and everything worked great. I could boot to both Debian and Win2K.
I did that install with the sarge installer and the 2.4.26 kernel. I
later installed the 2.6.9 kernel from source. My problem is that now I
get a kernel panic message on boot saying "VFS: unable to mount root fs
on unknown block" when trying to boot to the 2.6 kernel.
What's strange about this is that in the menu.lst file everything is
exactly the same for both kernels.
Except one thing : both kernel certainly dont have support for you
root partition filesystem, but the Debian one can find the appropriate
module in its initrd. I bet that your kernel doesnt have either an initrd
image or the filesystem support ! ;-)
