    Unable to boot system - Kernel panic

    I have searched through this topic quite a bit and there is quite a bit of information out there regarding it. None of it seems to be helping my problem.

    Every time I boot the machine it locks up. Here is the small log of what happens before the lock:
    RAMDISK - Couldn't find RAMDISK image starting at 0.
    EXT2-fs: Unable to read superblock.
    MINIX-fs: Unable to read Superblock.
    ISOFS_fill_super: bread failed, dev=md0, iso_blknum=16, block=32
    Kernel Panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(9,0)

    Basically the bootup for / should be using /dev/md0 which is a raid1 configuration for /dev/sda1 and /dev/sdb1.

    I am able to use the SuSE rescue resource to get into the system and mount the md0. I ran a fsck.reiserfs /dev/md0. It found some problems so I ran the fix along with fsck next time around and said there were no problems.

    Let me know what else you need or please throw me suggestions...thank you for taking a look at this for me.

    NM I got it back up. Just in case someone stubbles on to this from google here is what I did...
    I mounted it the md0 in my repair environment. I ran fsck on it. After this I was able to mount the drive in the "update" cd where it appeared to have fixed my bootup file.
