Kernel Panic - Unable to mount root
Hello all,
In my recent urge to go back to debian I've encountered errors that
I've never seen before on my earlier installs. Previously I've used a
2.6.8 kernel and luckily that was available in sarge. so I used that
config and did a
make-kpkg --initrd -rev 1 kernel_image
and then installed the deb. Upon reboot I received a :
Kernel Panic:VFS:Unable to mount root
This is extremely weird considering I have the exact setup from last
time, same file systems, etc and obviously if the 2.4 kernel loaded
without issues so hardware wouldn't be the cause. Now I've got a
stock .config file and recompiled that and that seemed to work.
However at one point I was able to break it again, although I don't
know how and I was too tired to trace it. Does anyone know anything
about this?
