Hello
I have attempted to install Redhat 7.0 fresh for a couple days now. It seems to install fully, then tells me to remove cd then reboot.
Then it goes through all the loading process and stops with this message:
" Kernal panic:VFS:unable to mount root fs on 03.08

Is there anything I may be doing wrong to cause this? I have tried 5 installs now and get the same thing every time.

TIA

The message is saying that the system is failing to find a root filesysytem on the 4rd logical partition of the Primary Master IDE drive. Is that where it should be looking?

Post specific information regarding your drive configuration and partitioning scheme.

Woops! I meant the 4th logical partition.

How are your disk(s) set up? What partition did you install Linux on?

Well now were getting deep, and this is probably where the problem will mostly lie.
I tried and tried to make several partitions yesterday according to a book that I got. But it would not let me make a swap partition.
I saw the choices to the right on which type of partition to make, but it would not let me toggle there to select swap (before or after I made the other partitions)
Today I tried once more, and the cd just took off and seemed to make its own partitions it was different then yesterday.
I just did a full install by default.
I have no extra partitions that I am aware of right now. Just one single partition that I know of.

If you were manually setting up multiple partitions, you must just have been missing something critical in the process. If the automatic partitioning worked, go with it; it probably either made one big root partition with a swap file, or one root partition and one swap partition.
