I had similar problems while upgrading to 2.6.7.I had the mkinitrd
correct.Check during configuration of kernel if the IDE disk driver
support is built into the kernel rather than as module.I did this and
it started working.
I did this any now it is detecting the hdd. Thanks. But still the
panic persists.
I get the following after having compiled ext3 support and ide support
into the kernel (no initrd).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
VFS: Cannot open root device "303" or unknown block(3,3)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel Panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown block (3,3)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I tried the various solutions listed at
http://kerneltrap.org/node/view/1955
; but nothing helps.
Unsure of how the new kernel expects the root fs to be specified, I tried
1. root=/dev/hda3
2. root=/dev/hda2
3. root=0303
4. root=0302
in grub. Again nothing helps.
My /boot/grub/menu.lst
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
default 0
timeout 15
fallback 1
title GNU/Linux-2.6
kernel (hd0,2)/vmlinuz root=0303
title GNU/Linux-2.4 OLD
kernel (hd0,2)/vmlinuz.old root=/dev/hda3
initrd /initrd.old
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please help.
