Request_Module[Block-Major-3]: Root fs not mounted
VFS: Cannot Open root device 03:41
kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root device on 03:47
It looks like your root device has changed - ie: You installed onto hda1,
but on the new computer it is now hdb1 or something. Make sure the hard
drive
A better way to do this is to boot once using the root=/dev/hdb1 (or
whatever) and then use the rdev command to change the root device in
your kernel. I think you use it like:
rdev /dev/hdb1 /boot/vmlinuz
that will change /boot/vmlinuz to use /dev/hdb1 as its root device.

It is possible
A little trial and error should fix the problem. If you can get the
bios to see the HDD as say a 500 MB drive then you can get the kernel
loaded. Once Linux is running it by-passes the bios and sees the drive
as it actually is, 10 gig.
One thing to note is that the kernel must be within the

With IP, you only *need* a loopback interface - all other interfaces can
