Hi, Thanks for reading this message. I have the following problem. I am running Debian with a 2.4.18-bf2.4 kernel and installed the LVM packages change everythink to use LVM and it works fine. Here is an aoutput from my df -k : /dev/vg00/root 126931 50679 69699 43% / /dev/hda1 15522 8125 6596 56% /boot /dev/vg00/usr 507748 278396 203138 58% /usr /dev/vg00/var 1032088 281092 698568 29% /var /dev/vg00/tmp 63461 17 60168 1% /tmp /dev/vg00/home 761623 297976 432190 41% /export/home /dev/vg00/data 4128448 2784472 1134264 72% /export/data Now I want to do the following: Change the kernel version to 2.4.20-686 using the package manager from debian. This is what I did: apt-get install kernel-image-2.4.20-686 created a new initrd image using lvmcreate_initrd 2.4.20-686 vi /etc/lilo.conf And added the new kernel image to lilo.conf image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20-686 label=Linux-2.4.20 read-only root=/dev/vg00/root initrd=/boot/initrd-lvm-2.4.20-686.gz append="ramdisk_size=8192" I runned lilo and it installed fine. Now when I reboot the system and try to boot the new kernel I get the following message : Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 3a:00 Somebody have any idea on how to solve this problem ?
