I have fedora core 1 on my computer, recently I updated the kernel from 2.4.22-1.2115.nptlsmp to 2.4.22-1.2149.nptlsmp through yum from redhat update site.
After the update I am not able to boot the new kernel. The older kernel boots without any problem. The machine gives a kernel panic, with the last few lines of the display as follows:
Mounting /proc filesystem Creating block devices Creating root device mkrootdev: label / not found Mounting root filesystem mount: error 2 mounting ext3 pivotroot: pivot_root (/sysroot, /sysroot/initrd) failed: 2 umount /initrd/proc failed: 2 freeing unused kernel memory: 164k freed kernel panic: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel.
I have a Intel 865GBF Motherboard with Pentium 4 2.6HT processor 2Gb DDR SD RAM and a 120 MB SATA drive ST3120026AS and PATA ST380011A hard disks.
I boot from the sata drive /dev/sda
Please give me some pointers to look into to rectify the problem. Please also indicate if more information is required to diagnose the problem.
Thanks for your help
