RE: Linux Kernel Panic ! Unable to mount root fs on 00:00

Hi,
I too faced the same problem inspite of creating the initrd image. I
fixed this by changing the "root=" from "root=LABEL=/" to
"root=/dev/hdax" where x is the partition number of ur / partition.

Hi Arjan,

I tried the mkinitrd. But it says the image already present.

Hi,

Most likely you forgot to make an initrd image correctly for your
specific kernel; initrd's are kernel version specific, and are needed
for the mount-by-label function to work...
