Description Stanislav Mironov 2004-01-25 10:09:37 UTC 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.1)

Description of problem:
System kernel panics on every boot with kernel 2149.
It seems that it fails to correctly autodetect ext3 and uses ext2
module instead.
"VFS: Kernel panic, no root found", "LABEL=/", ... or something.
On 2129 kernel everything is OK.

/dev/hda2 on /boot type ext3 (rw)
/dev/hda3 on / type ext3 (rw)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-2.4.22-1.2149.nptl

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. rpm -ivh kernel-2.4.22-1.2149 on ext3 partition
2. boot

Actual Results:  Kernel panic on root not found.

Expected Results:  Boot as in 2129

What's your mkinitrd version? If it's 3.5.16.x (or so) you might want
to upgrade to 3.5.17-1 or later and re-install your kernel. Take a
look at bug #112623.

later kernels work ok ?
Comment 3 Stanislav Mironov 2004-06-19 18:20:27 UTC 
This case seems to be caused by incomplete rpm.
I redownload/reinstall helped. Sorry 'bout that.
