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. -Kris -----Original Message----- From: kernelnewbies-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:kernelnewbies-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Abhijit Pawar Sent: Wednesday, August 23, 2006 12:01 PM To: arjan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: 'Kernel Newbies' Subject: RE: Linux Kernel Panic !

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...
