    kernel panic not syncing vfs unable to mount root fs on unknown-block

    Hi everyone,



    I am trying to install RHEL4 on wmware6.5 but at the beginning of installation it gives that error
    " isofiles_fill_super: bread failed, dev=md1, iso_blknum=16, block=32"
    "kernel panic not syncing vfs unable to mount root fs on unknown-block".

    I use windows 7 and there is no problem with ram and harddisk .

    thanks in advance for time and help

    Are you sure vmware 6.5 is compatible with Windows 7?
    Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.

    Yes, but is your Windows 7 also 64bit?

    So, have you tried installing the 64bit version of RHEL 5 in the VM? I know you said you are having trouble with RHEL 4. Also, don't install it in a VM with the xen options.
