"Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 03:06"
hda1 = boot hda5 = swap hda6 = root
I installed GCC 2.95.x and Xcdroast yesterday on a recently installed RH 6.1 system. Those are the only changes since I last rebooted the box. I used the new compiler installation to build a 2.2.14 kernel so I know that worked OK. I had also burned a couple CDs I know that installation worked too. I kept the original LILO config intact, installing a new section for the 2.2.14 so that I could back out if there was a kernel problem. Now when trying to boot from _either_ LILO option I end up in the same place so I really don't believe this has anything to do with trying to install a new kernel.
From an existing system, I believe I found that 03:06 is /dev/hda6 (which is where I expected to find the root partition - brw-rw---- 1 root disk 3, 6 May 5 1998 hda6). Any ideas as to what may have caused this and what to do to get out of it? (The kernel isn't the only thing that is panicing!) I am guessing that I have a HDD problem, or maybe a partition problem - but I don't know where to start looking for the problem.
Thanks for your help, Phil
