Kernel Panic: Solution?


The hardware specifications of my computer are:

Maxtor 80GB SATA150 HDD
Seagate Cheetah Ultra320 36.6GB HDD
NEC DVD DL DF Burner

Above, I've posted links to images of my monitor during the boot. They show the same thing, but some may be more legible than others, that is your preference.

I'm switching distros as Gentoo is not the one for me. So, I decided to try Sarge.

Problem [more is shown in pix]
[cod]Attached scsi disk sdb at scsi4, channel 0, id 0, lun 0
pivot_root: No such file or directory
/sbin/init: 432: cannot open dev/console: No such file or directory
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init![/code]

What is causing this? How can I fix it?
