hi ajay,
It is perfectly alright to load linux on a logical partition. If that is what you are upto.
Windows just need to be on the active primary.Do you understand that stuff ?
Anyway, if you are getting kernel panics and it says unable to mount root fs then i think while the kernel was configured for you the support for the filesystem was left out.....actually your root fs would be formated to type say ext3 and maybe the kernel has not been compiled to support ext3.
Did you have a distro cd or did you recompile the kernel. Can you confirm that, then we may be able to help you with that ?
