Hi Folks
I made some progress. I could boot system at runlevel 1. With following changes:
1. Setting root=/dev/sda1 at grub.
2. Avoiding booting "initrd". I compiled everything in kernel. Removed initrd entry from grub.
So, as far as booting is concerned, it seems to be someting wrong with initrd image.
But story does not ends here. if I swith to runlevel 2 then it stucks with following messages:
* Starting periodic command scheduler
* Running local boot scritps (/etc/rc.local)
* INIT: Id "1" respawning too fast: disabled for five minutes
* INIT: Id "2" respawning too fast: disabled for five minutes
* INIT: Id "3" respawning too fast: disabled for five minutes
* INIT: Id "4" respawning too fast: disabled for five minutes
* INIT: Id "5" respawning too fast: disabled for five minutes
* INIT: Id "6" respawning too fast: disabled for five minutes
and keeps on repeating same after every five minutes.
Now any idea's on this.

Following is output of fdisk -l and cat /etc/fstabAny way, very first message (FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.33.2/modules.dep: No such file or directory.), perhaps is not because /dev/hda1 is not available. I copied "lib/modules/2.6.33.2/modules.dep" in "ramfs" and mesaage went away.

More suggestions please.
Please post your /etc/fstab output
please post your fdisk -l output
As someone pointed out: scsi and ata are merged in recent kernels
between .15 and .33: there are so many changes, its unlikely u can run it from older distros.
Secondly, u can boot .15 with "hda1" but newer kernels require "sdXn"
Now they use UUID for recognizing partition, though not sure, if kernel forces such requirements.
if you look at it: its not able to find "/lib/modules/2.6.33.2/modules.dep",
Which is probably because its not able to mount "/root"--RegardsMukeshOn Tue, Apr 27, 2010 at 3:26 PM, Mukesh Yadav <mukesh224@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:

not sure, but seems like u need to fix the partition info
/dev/hda1 may not be your root.
If this is case then same partition should not work as root for Linux-2.6.15.-52-386. Isn't it.I'm trying all this on sun virtual box. My Linux-2.6.15-52-386 still works well.Following are grub entries:title Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.33.2root (hd0, 0)kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.33.2 root=/dev/hda1 ro quiet splashinitrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.33.2savedefaultbootPlease help!--Best Regards,Mukesh

People ask the question... what's a RocknRolla? And I tell 'em - it's not about drums, drugs, and hospital drips, oh no. There's more there than that, my friend. We all like a bit of the good life - some the money, some the drugs, other the sex game, the glamour, or the fame. But a RocknRolla, oh, he's different. Why? Because a real RocknRolla wants the fucking lot.
