Thanks Alex.
What was your fix ? I can't get past the 'Kernel Panic' message using 2.6.5*
and at the moment cannot access the net using the rescue floppy with a 2.4* kernel
run the command <mkinitrd /boot/initrd2-6.5 2.6.5custom> (or whatever your current kernel is). This creates a ramdisk for you drivers, so you can then load your filesystem.
then add this to your boot loader.
for lilo add the <initrd=/boot/initrd-2.6.5> line into your configuration
ie
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.5
label=linux
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.6.5
read-only
root=/dev/sdb2
and of course run the <lilo> command to reload the boot sector.
Not sure what the exact configuration is for grub, but it would be something simalar.
Cheers,
Adam.

Thanks. I've been googling by the last line of the error message
"Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block (3,69)"
I received this error when I first went to 2.6.x it was caused by the change in the initrd modules, check which version of mkinitrd you have and weather it matches the kernel version you have.
