The new problem of the boot process hardly going further was due to the
extra entries 'quiet' and 'splash'in the kernel line in menu.lst. Now It
boots like last time and stops again like first time at this...
"VFS:Cannot open root device "hdax" or unknown-block(0,0)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel Panic - not syncing:VFS:Unable to mount root fs on
unknown-block(0,0)"
I am not using any initrd image and there is no entry for the same in
menu.lst.
I had downloaded this kernel from www.kernel.org and it is from the 'F'
link on the rhs of the first line that mentions this as the latest
stable kernel. Do I need to patch it with the main link which leads to a
patch file?
Regards,
Rony.
