Fedora 2.6 kernel problems

[Ryan Nix]

Hello,

Someone posted a reply/fix to this yesterday and unfortunately, I 
deleted it.  :-[

I get a kernel panic:  VFS:  Unable to mount root fs on hda2.  I believe 
the fix had something to do with the grub.conf file.

Can anyone offer any pointers?

Thanks in advance!

I have this from yesterday. Hope it's what you want.

--------------< snip >----------------

try root=/dev/hdax in grub.conf, hdax is your root
partition.
I hope it works.

Your probably running mkinitrd later than 3.5.14-1! I had the exact same 
error and came back to mkinitrd-3.5.14-1 and the problem resolved

Most likely bug #112623, take a look at
