Kernel panic on boot


Hi,

I recently tried upgrading my kernel and everytime I upgrade my kernel from 2.6.11-6(which it came installed with) i get this error on boot.

Quote:
devfs_mk_dev: could not append to parent for md/0
md: Autodetecting RAID arrays.
md: autorun ...
md: ... autorun DONE.
RAMDISK: cramfs filesystem found at block 0
RAMDISK: Loading 176KiB [1 disk[ into ram disk... done.
VFS: Mounted root (cramfs filesystem) readonly.
Error -5 while decompressing!
c0482884(1943)->efd51000(4096)
input: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard on isa0060/serio0
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(3,3)
It occurs with every single kernel version i have tried which is

2.6.12-12
2.6.12-15
2.6.12-17

I am running Mandriva linux 2006.0 and the rest of my specs are here.

Any help guys?

Your kernels are unable to handle the filesystem in root partition. Compile reiser support in or build initrd.
