Hi Gang:
I am using FC4 on my Athelon 2400 system.
I was running FC3 with a custom compiled kernel.
And then I upgraded to FC4.
Now I am not able to boot either the stock FC3 kernel or the custom kernel. However the FC4 kernel is still booting happily.
Here is the detailed kernel trace
Mounted /proc filesystem
Mounting sysfs
Creating /dev
Starting udev
Loading jbd.ko
Loading ext3.ko
Creating root device
mkrootdev: label / not found
Mounting root file system
mount: error 2 mounting ext3
switching to new root
switchroot: mount failed: 22
KernelPanic: Attempted to kill init
Here is my trimmed grub.conf
title Fedora Core (2.6.11.8-Manu)
root (hd0,8)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.11.8-Manu ro root=LABEL=/
initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.11.8-Manu.img
I have tried changing root=/dev/hdc4 without success.
I have a hunch that mkinitrd is screwing things up.
However, for the life of me, I cannot figure why the stock Redhat kernel is able to boot successfully with the same config.
Has anyone encountered similar error?
TIA
Manu
