I actually did not do anything to the hardware drivers (assuming that old hardware would be selected by default), so I am not surprised that this would be the fault here. The full line of the kernel panic is: Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0) I will go back into the chroot and recompile the kernel, noting the specific hardware drivers I need for this machine. Not sure if google will help me or not here - I feel like I am going into unexplored territory.... Thanks, Nathan
