Kernel Panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on hda3

Hi!

I just installed a new kernel based on 2.6.6-rc1-love1 with my own configuration and got the above stated error message.

An older 2.6.3 vanilla kernel created by genkernel works fine.

My grub.conf includes:
root (hd0,0)
kernel=(hd0,0)/vmlinuz-2.6.6-rc1-love1 root=/dev/hda3

My fstab looks like this:
/dev/hda1 /boot ext2 noauto,noatime 1 1
/dev/hda3 / reiserfs noatime,notail 0 0

reiserfs is compiled into the kernel.

Can anyone help me please?

Thanks a lot.

Hi!

Yes, I did.

grub: root=/dev/hda3 should be ok

fstab: seems to be ok

devfs: ok

reiserfs in kernel: ok

ide chipset: hope so, don't know which one I need
(compaq evo n620c with Intel Corp. 82801DBM)

ata-2: ok

scsi: I don't have scsi

initrd-support: 8KB

ms-dos-partition-type: ok

Do you have any further idea?

Thanks and bye, 42
