 Kernel Panic, Please Help...I am Panicking Too
I am pretty new to this linux stuff so bear with me.  I recently downloaded
and installed mandrake 7.2, but unfortunately my usb modem wasnt supported,
so when the kernel update came out I thought I would give that a try....got
the kernel compiled, updated LILO...restart and attempt to load the new
kernel...and I get a kernel panic error...

Speciffically:

kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 21:05

How can I fix this?  It was suggested to me that I try rdev....I tried it
but I am not sure how to use it correctly can someone elaborate or give me
some more insite into how I can correct this problem?

I appreciate all your help...

System spec's:

PIII 700e cB0 @ 875 1.65v - Abit BE6-II UH w/Highpoint 366 controlloer-
128mb EMS / 256mb Micron SDRAM - 20.4 7200 Barracuda - 20.4 7200 Western
Digital- SB Live - Plex 8/4/32 - Geforce 2 MX Prophet II 205/205,
WinMill/Win2k Pro/Whistler/Linux Mandrake 7.2

Have you heard of manpages?
I never used rdev before, but I figure everything you need is in the
manpages

man rdev

(I checked there, and found: rdev -h for examples)

Yeah Eric, but you're assuming he remembered to save his old kernel.

In other words, if he can't get booted, how can he look at the man pages?

Use the web, or read his install cd, or boot from his install cd. And
if he's forgotten how to turn on his computer ...

He claimed before that already tried rdev before, but that it failed.
So he's probably still able to boot the old kernel.
If not he should have told so.
