I got a similar error kernel panic, but not for NFS but about the sda. VFS: Cannot open root device "sda1" or unknown-block(0,0) Please append a correct "root=" boot option Kernel panic VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0) The modilfied 2.6.8 kernel seems not recognize my SATA drive. This happened for only the modified 2.6.8 kernel. The new fresh kernel installed from apt-get is ok. But that has some trouble with drivers. I've tried to reconfigure kernel with maximum SATA support. I even tried to patch it with libata http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/jgarzik/libata/ But error is still there. Any suggestion about that. -- Gavin Tran -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFDtPezQipgvQyG5e4RAv4WAJ0bpEAHemKWf+yaJ23JwETylJct/wCdHQC6 8HsnvA0JLJedWHkFUFKFj1A= =FSoP -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
