Hello everyone,

Can somebody help me solve my problem on our samba server?
I am installing Fedora Core 4 on a new HP Compaq machine with P4 3.0E
and 80GB Hard drive.

I was able to install RedHat 9 on it but when I tried installing FC4,
I received an error (kernel panic)

......

RAMDISK: Couldn't find RAM disk image starting at 0
VFS: Cannot open root device "<NULL>" or unknown-block(8,3)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic: not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(8,3)

.......

Actually, the message is long but I was only able to get those line.

Thanks.

I had a lot of experience of installer bugs on Fedora Core. One PC in our office wasn't able to install FC3 because the installer wasn't able to probe the s-ata harddisk. One friend of mine was able to boot to installer but it soon gets terminated once the installation starts.

If you're installing FC on a s-ata disk that might as well your problem. =)
