Note: same display for kernel-2.6.13-1.1526_FC4SMP. These 2 versions of the kernel will not boot and panic at the same place every time. Kernel-2.6.12-1.1390_FC4SMP is stable and working on this Dell 650n with dual pentium xeon @ 3.06mhz with u320 scsi disk.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-2.6.13-1.1532_FC4SMP

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Select 2.6.13-1.1532_FC4SMP from grub boot menu
2.Wait for the panic message to happen
3.
  

Actual Results:  loading jkd.ko module
loading ext3.ko module
creating root device
mkrootdev:label / not found
mounting root filesystem
mount/: Error 2 mounting ext3
Switching to new root
error opening /dev/console!!!!:2
error dup2ing fd of 0 to 0
error dup2ing fd of 0 to 1
error dup3ing fd of o to 2
unmounting old /proc
unmounting old /sys
switchroot:mount failed:22
kernel panic -  not syncing: attempted to kill init!
