Description Alcino Dall Igna Junior 2003-03-09 13:36:48 UTC
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 03:03

This happens in a newlly instaled box with 1.4_rc3. All it's fine (till now) if
I boot from the liveCD, but when I try my own kernel I can't get in.

Yes, I have ide in kernel (not module) and it recognizes hda, hdb, the
partitions, the cd-rom, fdc,... I'm using just generic pci ide because I found
no option to the NVIDIA nforce ide of my Asus A7N266-VM, could this be the
source of problem? In this case, how to configure the right chipset? I saw that
the default kernel in the liveCD identifies a 

NFORCE: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev 48

(the same bus/dev that the generic PCI IDE found), but I don't know how to get this.

TIA

Sorry, I think that I find the problem (not sure yet, justo to you don't loose your time).

I mistankinlly set reiserfs support as module and not in the kernel as I should.
I'm rebuilding the kernel now.

Thanks

Alcino

make sure you add the right filesystem support so that your kernel can read your root filesystem ...

like you suggested, you dont have reiserfs built in ;)
