Hello,
I'm relativily new to using linux (I've only been using it for a
month or so), and I keep getting a reoccuring
Kernal Panic "VFS: unable to mount root partition 03:02
This has happened twice before and both times I haven't been able to
find enough info on how to fix it. I don't know why it keeps on
happening, but I booted up linux yesturday (or tried to) and got the
error again. I had just re-installed it a week before due to the
same problem, so I wasn't a terribly happy boy.
I've tried to boot with my rescue disk all 3 times but without luck.
I keep getting the message:
Unable to open initial console
kernel panic: No init found. try passing init= option to kernel
Can anyone explain why this may keep occuring? What it may mean
(From what I've read it seems to mean the system cannot find hda2 at
a low level). And possible some help on fixing it.
My machine is a
Celeron 533 (socket 370)
64MB RAM (Core, I read about it again {As I had heard the term before
but in realation to old mainframes})
15GB HD, 6GB win98 partition (hda1)
/ (hda2)
/boot (hda5)
/usr (hda6)
/home (hda7)
/swap (hda8)
/var (hda9)
ATI Rage IIc 8MB
Creative PCI Ensoniq
Motorola 56kbs winmodem
52x IDE CD-ROM
thanks,
Trevor Stewart
