kernel panic

[vedaprasad]

Hi all
I created a new initrd image with mkintrd command.i commented the existing initrd image entry in /boot/grub/grub.conf file and added the new initrd image.and now the system does not boot it says "File not found" .when i login to grub command prompt and boot with the Kernel and initrd image ( the one commented in grub.congf file ) as i cannot find the new one .
I followed the following steps in grub command prompt



1) Find /grub/stage1

o/p - (hd0,6)

2) root(hd0,6)

o/p - filesystem type ext3......


3) kernel /vmlinuz-2.618.164.el15 ro root=LABEL=/

4) initrd /init <TAB key >

I get all the files including the old initrd image ( cannot find the new one just created ) so i use the old one and say boot


5) boot

The system throws an error

Kernel panic - not syncing : attempted to kill init !

Please help

Thanks in advance

Let me guess -
Try change

kernel /vmlinuz-2.618.164.el15 ro root=LABEL=/

kernel /vmlinuz-2.618.164.el15 root=/dev/sda5

see what happens - If this didnt work then do you have Live CD ? If so use it and run following command

fdisk -l

and access grub.conf - post it here.
