That is probably sdc1 or sdc2. Maybe even sdc6 or sdc7. However the vfat filesystem didn't have /sbin/init. >> http://img99.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dscn0617b.jpg This one says it couldn't find anything at 8,22, which I think should be sdb6. It also shows that you have and sdc6, but sdb only goes up to sdb3. So it seems that your disk drives have changed name - not a wholely unexpected event these days. We now need answers to questions like: - what device do you expect the root filesystem to be on - how is the kernel being told this? Maybe it is hard coded into your initrd. Knowing which distro and what /etc/fstab says might help (though it wouldn't help me, I'm just about out of my depth at this point) Maybe if you changed /etc/fstab to mount by uuid instead of hardcoding e.g. /etc/sdb3, and then run "mkinitramfs" or whatever, it might work.
