I tried this but still it did not work. I get the same kernel panic "unable to mount the root".
Time to dig deeper.
-> Which DHCP & TFTP servers are you using?
-> What distributions are the servers located on?
-> Are you using a PXE server?
-> What is the model/make of the client machines with the PXE
-> What is the name of the configuration file you are using under the pxelinux.cfg directory?
-> Please post the relevant sections from your DHCP configuration file as well as the configuration file under pxelinux.cfg directory.
-> Please post the exact Kernel panic line, along with the last 10 lines before that message.
In the meantime, to take a few potshots in the dark:
-> Does the kernel report something on the lines of "RAMDISK: bzip2 Compressed image found at block x" a few lines before the root mount failure?
-> Do you have something like "root=/dev/ram0 rw" in the APPEND line in the relevant configuration file under the pxelinux.cfg directory?
