Kernel Panic error
 

Hi all

Just got this error when rebooting my mandrakelinux 10.0 box as below,

Freeing unused kernel memory : 288k freed

hde: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady Seekcomplete Error }
hde: dma_intr: error=0x40 { Uncorrectable Error }, LBAsect = 4195193, sector = 4195191
End_request: I/O error, dev hde, sector 4195191
Ext3-fs error (device hde1): ext3_get_inode_loc: unable to read inode block - inode=264893, block = 524391
kernel panic: no init found, try passing init = option to kernel

will any kind soul please help. Thanks.

This error is pretty straightfoward -- the kernel tried to read a block from /dev/hde and failed to do so. It appears to be trying to mount the root filesystem (with init) from /dev/hde. This seems somewhat unusual. How many drives do you have on your system? If you just have one or two it should be looking at /dev/hda or /dev/hdb. Post some more details on your set up and someone can help more.

Hi Btmiller

I`m using only 1 sata harddisk in this setup.
