I installed RHEL5 several days ago and it works good. Then I made kernel-2.6.20 and kernel-2.6.21.1 on my system. When I booted up with kernel-2.6.20 and kernel-2.6.21.1, I got the message as below: ******************************************************************** ******************************************************************** Unable to access resume device (LABEL=SWAP-sda2) Mount: could not find filesystem "/dev/root" setuproot: moving /dev failed: No such file or directory setuproot: error mounting proc: No such file or directory setuproot: Error mounting /sys: No such file or directory switchroot: Mount failed: No such file or directory Kernel Panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! ********************************************************************* ********************************************************************* My /etc/grub.conf is: ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ default=2 timeout=5 splashimage=(hd0,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz hiddenmenu title Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (2.6.18-8.el5) root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-8.el5 ro root=/dev/sda1 rhgb quiet initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.18-8.el5.img title Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (2.6.20)custom root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/bzImage-2.6.20.custom ro root=/dev/sda1 rhgb quiet initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.20.custom.img title Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (2.6.21.1)custom root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/bzImage-2.6.21.1.custom ro root=/dev/sda1 rhgb quiet initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.21.1.custom.img ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ My /etc/fstab is : ********************************************************************** ********************************************************************** LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1 devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 /dev/sda3 swap swap defaults 0 0 *********************************************************************** *********************************************************************** I make the kernel several times and never suffer this condition.
I found if I install the system on the SATA drive, it will show the error message and panic the kernel. But if I change to install on IDE drive, it works good. Would you please check it out? Thanks,
I see this with F10 Preview: Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while...

Yes, I guess.

Hi Alex, So far, I still gt no clue with it. Could you please throw me some light on it? Thanks,
I have this problem also with F11
