kernel panic - not syncing : VFS????????????
Hello,
I have been using Mandrake 10.1 for a while and I am not liking it at all. it is full of bugs and I wanted to move to Fedora core 3. Well, I downloaded its 4 ISOs and burned them to CD and as soon as I try to install it it gives me : "RAMDISK: Compressed Image found at block 0 kernel panic - not syncing : VFS : unable to mount root fs on unknown-block (3,0)" Well, I had Windows XP on my machine and I removed it completely cuz I thought it is causing the problem, but no change. I really don't know what else to do. Please help. Thanks. Alireza |
hi there
u need to post the O/p of fdisk -l /dev/hda and /etc/lilo.conf or /etc/grub.conf if ur hdd is primary hard disk regards |
Thanks for the reply.
Well, my hdd is partitioned like this: 120 GB HDD: C: 6GB D: 30GB rest (fo linux): 57GB so I guess what you suggested I do, does not interfere with my Windows XP stuff right? Thanks again |
ok
did u changed ur IDE cables for ur disk like promary<===>secondary if yes then put them into original postition regards |
Hello,
No I have not changed them from the original position. So I guess it should work fine then right? THanks |
I need to have alook at ur lilo.conf or grub.conf whatever bootloader u r using
regards |
Well as I said, I have just windows XP installed right now and I am trying to install Fedora Core 3 fresh. So I guess I don't have any lilo.conf yet right?
Thanks for your help |
