--------------
EXT2-fs warning : mounting unchecked fs running e2fsk is recomended
VFS : mounted root (ext2 filesystem).
VFS: Cannot open root device "LABLE=/" or 00:00
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic : VFS : Unable to mount rootfs on 00:00
---------------
All lines above that point looked like normal boot things.
