Hi,


The follwing are the detailed messages while kernel panic.

------
Pending list:
Kernel Free SCB list: 3 1 0

VFS: Cannot open root device "sda2" or 08:02
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 08:03
--------

The system has three partitions.

1. /dev/sda1  /boot   125 MB  ext3
2. /dev/sda2  /      30.5 GB  ext3
3. /dev/sda3  swap    3.5 GB  swap

And the RAM is 2048MB.

Boot options used : root=/dev/sda2 mem=2048M.

Any clues?

Thanks,
P.S.M.Swamiji
