kernel panic - not syncing:vfs:unable to mount root fs on unknown-block (8.2)
Hello,
i have installed vl 6.0 standard on first hd and a newly i installed vl 7.0 on second hd..when i try to start first hd i get error message above..but when i start second hd and runs without problems.. does anyone knows about this error message? many thanks for your posts.. greetings |
This is during boot up:
It has grabbed the kernel, and initrd if you specified one. Next thing it does is mount / ro - all before init is started. It can't find /. Causes: Wrong drive specified, pathname error, unable to read filesystem, i/o error, that sort of thing |
maybe this caused by diffrent names.../dev/hda2 (VL6.0).../dev/sda2 (VL7.0)...tried to change lilo.conf but there are no results
|
Double check that your kernel can read trhe root filesystem. It has to be compiled in, or in an initrd. A module isn't enough; it lands you in catch-22 - you need the module to read the filesystem the module is on.
Then you have the root drive specified wrong. root=/dev/??? on the boot line. Modern kernels should have /dev/sda, etc. |
vl 6.0 uses kernel 2.6.27.12 and vl 7.0 kernel 2.6.38
wonder why the /proc dir is empty Quote:

the problem bootloader lilo uses *h*da in vl 6.0 and *s*da in vl7.0...so probably i need to change the lilo.conf file on vl 7.0 with the content of lilo.conf vl 6.0..but i dont know if vl 7.0 already will work then
