OK guys I am done but I have on big problem which I really need help on.
My kernel panics on startup sayin 

[     13.472000] VFS: Cannot open root device "sda5 or unknown-block(0,0)
[     13.472000] Please append a correct "root=" boot option; here are
the available partitions: 
[     13.472000] 0300     4194302 hda driver : ide-cdrom
[     13.472000] Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs 
on unknown-block(0,0)

I do not know what to do I have looked at some similar errors but cannot
really isolate  a problem.

I have a lenovo/ibm t60 it has a scsi hardrive the partitions are as follows

/dev/sda2/    ext3

/dev/sda1     extended 
/dev/sda5/    ext3 boot partition with lfs
/dev/sda6/    swap

sda 5 and 6 are in extended partition 1

I really do not know if this information is relevant but i noticed that
my boot partitions type is ext3 and it is using vfs I enabled vfs as a
module  for compatibility. I have looked at a couple of forum
conversations. please I really appreciate any solutions or idea on what
to fix this problem. Thank you so much. Peace

Dan C
