Hi, I got a kernel panic when I tried to install, rh9 on my new machine. This happen while doing a harddisk install from /dev/hda5 (fat - partitioned and formatted by W2K). My hardware is: Asus A7V600 Via KT600 DDR400 AGP x8 1 AMD Athlon Thoroughbred XP 2000+ (1667 MHz) 2 Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 80GB, 7200RPM, 2MB 1 Kingston 512 MB DDR-RAM PC32000 400 MHz KVR400X64C3 1 Nvidia GeForce4 MX 440-8X, 128MB DDR Both Seagates are at IDE1. I have installed W2K on hda and was trying to install rh9 on hdb as a dual boot. I have a fat partition (hda5) on my W2K disk. I also have a cdrom on hdc. I have replicated the entire error screen below: ---------------- CUT ---------------- /mnt/runtime umount failed (16) disabling /dev/loop1 LOOP_CLR_FD failed: 16 ------------- [ cut here ] ------------- kernel BUG at inode.c:564! invalid operand: 0000 CPU: 0 EIP: 0060:[<c014dfaa]> Not tainted EFLAGS: 00010202 EIP is at (2.4.20-8BOOT) eax: 00000001 ebx: dce37420 ecx: dce37440 edx: 00000000 esi: dfcd1f60 edi: dfcd1f60 ebp: c0271280 esp: dfcd1f44 ds: 0068 es: 0068 ss: 0068 Process linuxrc (pid: 17, stackpage=dfcd1000) Stack: dce37420 c014e07a dce37420 defe4c64 00000000 c014e1a5 dfcd1f60 dce37258 d85685d8 defe4c44 defe4c00 dee64ca0 c0140759 defe4c00 c0271348 00000000 dfcd1f98 0000000d bffec894 c01502e4 defe4c00 dee64ca0 c25a2590 c250a270 Call Trace: [<c014e07a>] (0xdfcd1f48) [<c014e1a5>] (0xdfcd1f58) [<c0140759>] (0xdfcd1f74) [<c01502e4>] (0xdfcd1f90) [<c0108d73>] (0xdfcd1fc0) Code: 0f 0b 34 02 39 da 23 c0 8b 83 fc 00 00 00 a9 10 00 00 00 75 VFS: Cannot open root device "" or 48:05 Please append a correct "root=" boot option Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 48:05 ---------------- CUT ---------------- This was the first time I got a kernel panic. The install have halted trice before. Two times when I tried to install from cdrom, and one time when I tried the hard disk install from the same partition. I have checked the media and the isos. They all PASS. So, is there a newer boot image or some other solution to this problem?
