kernel panic: VFS unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(3,1)

**slackers** · 06-16-2005

built LFS 6.0 using nALFS and a profile from NALFS.

Code:

partition info&#58;


hda1 = ext3
hda5 = ext3
hda6 = swap

grub&#58;
root &#40;hd0,0&#41;
setup &#40;hd0&#41;

any idea what might be causing this?

how about posting your grub.conf and the output of fdisk -l

Hello,

I am getting this same error message after I did the following steps:

I took a WinXP-dedicated computer and dualbooted
Red Hat 9.0 on it and decided to go with Fedora Core 4 instead. When I booted from the first ISO, however, I got the same "kernel panic..." message above and can't figure out how to add the / and /boot and SWAP partitions correctly.

Any help?
