Hi,

I tried to install fedora 4 on my winxp machine so that i can have Dual OS...i successfully installed the OS but after rebooting it gave me Kernel panic error...then i went to grub by pressing C and run the kernel and initrd and booted the system but still did not work..then i started from the bootable cd and went into the rescue mode but was not able to change the root directory to /mnt/sysimage..when i df it says unable to seek on /dev/hda but cat /proc/partitions lists the partitions in the system.its giving me the same error if i try to install it.

I am assuming that the kernel panic is that it can not seek on /dev/hda? Or is the kernel panicking with a different error message?

Also, my usual boilerplate advice: Use the latest version whenever possible. Fedora Core 6 is out, and there is the chance that the problem has been fixed since version 4.
