Kernel panic : VFS : Unable to mount root fs on 03:01
 

Hello. I was running a stable version of linux. In the next day, i inserted the extraible disk and i receive this last 3 lines:

FAT: bogus logical sector size 27648

sh-2021: reiserfs_read_super: cant not find reiserfs on ide0(3,1)

Kernel panic : VFS : Unable to mount root fs on 03:01


Could anybody have an idea of what is happening?

If i enter the system with a rescue disk/cd what should i do to recover the system?

Thanks.

whats an extraible disk ???

seems to me like you either instaled a kernel wihout support for your file system,
or you are missing the root=/dev/hd(wherever your root is) parameter in the grub config file.

or maybe the file system IS corrupt ?

what file system are you using ?
what distro ?
what kernel version ?

use a rescue disk or knoppix, and see if you can mount your root file system.

check lilo configuration
 

make sure that root hd location il lilo.conf is correct. How you formatted your hd? In witch hd you have lcated your root dir?

I'm using Slackware 9.1 with the default kernel (2.4.22)
I installed the filesystem with ext3.

The system was working pretty well until this 'RARE' success.

I put the removable drive (sorry, not extraible) this morning, and it didnt work anymore... SOMETHING broked something.

I dont know what, since the installation and performance were good until today.

What are the steps that i should do to repair? maybe fsck? anyother utility? thx.
