From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.77 [en] (Win95; U) Description of problem: When I boot the system I get a kernel panic error. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot the system 2. 3. Actual Results: The system starts to boot but fails with a kernel panic error. Expected Results: The system should have completed the boot process. Additional info: The last three lines that appear on my screen are: EXT2-fs unable to read superblock isofs_read_super: bread failed, dev=03:01, iso_blknum=16, block-32 kernel panic: VFS: unable to mount root fs on 03:01 The support people thought that I may have a bad disk drive, so I changed disk drives and got the same error. I can load RedHat Linux 7.0 without any problems. I upgraded the RedHat Linux 7.0 installation to RedHat Linux 7.1. I still got the same kernel panic error. I booted with the 'linux rescue' option and got the following error when it tried to mount the root partisian: 'mount failed: Invalid argument'. After getting to a command prompt, I tried mounting the hda1 device with the following command line: 'mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/sysimage'. This command gave the following error: 'mount failed: Invalid argument'. I then ran fdisk and deleted the root partisian and added it back again. At this point I tried mounting the hda1 device again. It mounted successfully. I looked through the directories to see if everything looked okay. It looked okay to me! I then booted the system again. I still got the kernel panic error
