kernel panic: VFS: ... (solved)
After compiling my new kernel (2.6.5) I get this message
VFS: Cannot open root device "302" or unknown-block (3,2) Please append a correct "root=" boot option Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block (3,2) lilo.conf is ok ;) I was just changing device drivers, I didn't touch file systems. wtf happnened? :confused: Any ideas what to do? |
it seems like a unsupported filesystem error. have u checked the filesystem of root partion is supported in kernel (not module)? u must touch filesystems :) remove unnecessary filesystem supports.

And also you might want those IDE support compiled IN the kernel.
[edit] Check also if you are trying to use a RAM disk (which you dont need, unless you gonna boot that kernel from a CD/Floppy) |
i get this alot with redhat / fedora distro's
get into /boot/grub folder and open manu.lst you will probable find that you have a kernel parameter like so ' kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.5 ro root=/LABEL=/' works with some kernels, not with others... change it to ' kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.5 ro root=/dev/hdb1' change hdb1 to whereever your root partiton is. |
I'll try..
qwijibow: i'm using lilo |
just say that after i posted....
but lilo is just as capable of passing kernel options as grub is it not ? im sure you can adjust the syntax accordingly. |
