Description Mayank Jain 2006-09-06 08:11:01 UTC

Description of problem:
Just after the installation (and reboot), the boot process fails with this 
message

VFS: cannot open rood device "sda1" or unknown-block(0,0)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
anaconda-11.1.0.89-1.x86_64.rpm   
kernel-2.6.17-1.2617.2.1.fc6.x86_64.rpm  
grub-0.97-11.x86_64.rpm 


How reproducible:
Everytime

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Rawhide (this *might* be the one which will fo for fc6t3 freeze)
2. Reboot as mentioned in the end of install process
3. Kernel Panic!
  
Actual results:
Kernel Panic

Expected results:
Correct bootup

Additional info:
I have an AMD athlon 64 bit processor (3500+), SATA disk & performed a network 
installation. I also changed the default name "Fedora Core" in the boot menu 
(during install) to "Rawhide".

Following was my disk structure
/dev/sda1 - / - 80000 M - EXT3
/dev/sda2 - swap - 512 M
/dev/sda3 - /data - ~=70000M - EXT3
