Hi Pavan,
I don't know the exact document which discussess all possible
reasons but I can list a few and most common reasons for kernel panic.
- Proper filesystem support not selected.: You should select the
support for filesystems on your HDD and the RAMDISK. The kernel should
be compiled with this support embedded in kernel image and not as a
module.
- Harddisk device driver not selected: Depending on the type of
disk connected to your system on which the root filesystem is
residing, corresponding support should be compiled in with the kernel
image.
- Wrongly specified root device: you should specify the correct
path of the root device to the bootloader.
Most of the times I got kernel panic message, these were the
reasons. I hope, this will help you.
Namaste,
Sameer
