Kernel Panic - Not Syncing
Hey there! Hope you can help! ok, I installed Knoppix 4.0 on a new HD, made primary partitions for the installation as required, the swap partition as well, now I dont know if the swap should be primary or not, anyway... The system let me install the Knoppix4.0 and everything was fine, but when I take out the live cd and try to run the HD with the Knoppix I get this thing:
Kernel Panic - Not Syncing VFS Unable to mount root fs on unknown - block (3,66) Ive been reading some information about this, but I just dont get it, they talk about changing this in LILO and changing that in God knows what, Im a newbie and I have no idea what is that, Ive been looking for those terms in the livecd and cannot find em, I read about file systems and kernel properties but I just cant make it work, well I really hope you can help me out on this one, thanks in advance. Is there a way to fix this using the terminal? |
The error your getting usually means that your lilo.conf or grub.conf isn't written correctly. Post your lilo or grub conf file and your paritioning scheme and we'll see if we can find the error.

Got same problem below are the details of my lilo conf
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(8,3)
lilo.conf boot=/dev/sda prompt timeout=10 default=gentoo image=/boot/kernel label=Gentoo read-only root=/dev/sda3 i'm using reiserfs as my sda3 (root) Hope any masters can help me out in finding a solution to my problem. Many Thanks! :scratch: |
It often happens switching kernel, from an *-huge-* kernel to the *-generic-* one: I solved creating the initrd.gz and adding it to lilo.conf the initrd.gz, here's a README that might help you:

By the way, i might include this: i'm installing gentoo r9 on Dell 1950 server. This might help in solving my problem ^^ |
