If you can't boot 2.5.50, then how did you get the msg2 log:

	Checking for the skas3 patch in the host...not found
	Checking for /proc/mm...not found
	Linux version 2.5.50-1um (root@hitao) (gcc version 3.2 20020903 (Red Hat Linux 8.0 3.2-7)) #1 Tue Dec 10 22:11:13 CST 2002
[snip]
	EXT3-fs: INFO: recovery required on readonly filesystem.
	EXT3-fs: write access will be enabled during recovery.
	kjournald starting.  Commit interval 5 seconds
	EXT3-fs: recovery complete.
	EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode.
	VFS: Mounted root (ext3 filesystem) readonly.
	Mounted devfs on /dev
[snip]
	Remounting root filesystem in read-write mode:  [  OK  ]
	Activating swap partitions:  [  OK  ]
	Kernel panic: Kernel mode fault at addr 0x5a5a5b7e, ip 0xa00a27bb

That's what lead me to conclude that root_fs didn't exist and this was a case
of not bothering to read the documentation.

In any case, I didn't get 2.5.50 to boot until I disabled devfs in the config
('devfs=nomount' wasn't good enough).

And, BTW, I still haven't seen a stack trace from that panic...
