Re: [Mactel-linux-users] updating kernel screws up grub?

[Geoffrey <li...@se...>]

So I rebuilt my kernel, insuring that I had ext3 support and I still get 
a panic, although it is a different message:

Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 
unknown-block(0,0)

Here are my grub entries.  The first is the new kernel, the second is my 
  current working kernel.

title Red Hat Enterprise Linux Client (2.6.33.2)
         root (hd0,2)
         kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.33.2 ro root=LABEL=/ irqpoll rhgb
         initrd /initrd-2.6.33.2.img
title Red Hat Enterprise Linux Client (2.6.18-194.el5)
         root (hd0,2)
         kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-194.el5 ro root=LABEL=/ irqpoll rhgb quiet
         initrd /initrd-2.6.18-194.el5.img

I still wonder if the fact that file returns different info about my 
current working kernel and this new kernel has anything to do with this 
issue?

boot> file vmlinuz-2.6.33.2 vmlinuz-2.6.1
vmlinuz-2.6.33.2:       Linux kernel x86 boot executable RO-rootFS, 
root_dev 0x808, swap_dev 0x3, Normal VGA
vmlinuz-2.6.18-194.el5: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, AMD x86-64, 
version 1, stripped
