System couldnt mount your rootfs and thats why it gives you kernel

You should check your grub.conf and it should be something like
default=0
timeout=10
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title RedHat Enterprise Linux ES 3
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.21-32.EL ro root=/dev/Volume00/LogVol00
initrd /initrd-2.4.21-32.EL.img
title RedHat Enterprise Linux ES 4
root (hd0,4)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-11.EL ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet
initrd (hd0,4)/initrd-2.6.9-11.EL.img
title Fedora Core 4
root (hd0,8)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.12-1.1390_FC4 ro root=/dev/VolGroup02/LogVol00
initrd (hd0,8)/initrd-2.6.12-1.1390_FC4.img
title Fedora Core 4 - Embedded
root (hd0,6)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4 ro root=/dev/VolGroup01/LogVol00
initrd (hd0,6)/initrd-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4.img
Also be carefull while your are deciding hd0,0 issue cause when you get fdisk /dev/hda or
/dev/sda
you gonna see something like
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 1 10 80293+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda2 11 265 2048287+ 8e Linux LVM
/dev/hda3 266 330 522112+ 82 Linux swap
/dev/hda4 331 4870 36467550 5 Extended
/dev/hda5 331 340 80293+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda6 341 850 4096543+ 8e Linux LVM
/dev/hda7 851 860 80293+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda8 861 1115 2048256 8e Linux LVM
/dev/hda9 1116 1125 80293+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda10 1126 1890 6144831 8e Linux LVM
hd0,8 means hda(your harddisk) and partition 9 because 0,0 is your boot partition on hda
On the other hand you should be carefull if you use LVM, VolGroup ID's and LogVol
ID's are important.
In my grub.conf I collect whole kernel images in my hd0,0 partition and just ES 3.0 has a
boot loader.
Hello, thanks for reply but it didn't helped me out. I am using Linux
since 6 years and i have some _little_ knowledge... ;-)
I don't use LVM because i never had a need for it. The entry in my
grub.conf looks exctly like the entry for an older kernel which still is
installed and i am using right now.
I will give Dan Fruehauf's hint a try...
Anyway, thanks a lot!
