That sounds like you don't have the system root path specified correctly on the kernel line. e.g. kernel /vm........ ro root=LABEL=/ Where it's got "root=" the bit after it has to point to where / is found on your drives (can be specified via a *unique* label, or device).
The label seems to be correct, ie, running "e2label /dev/sdc3" from DVD rescue terminal returns "/". I don't have any other OS partitions -- Linux or otherwise. Just now I tried supplying the device name: kernel /vm........ ro root=/dev/sdc3 (the root partition as seen from the DVD), and kernel /vm........ ro root=root=/dev/sdd3 (the original device name), with the same results (kernel panic). root is there. The rescue program sees it, mounts it as /mnt/sysimage, and I can chroot to it. I just can't get Grub to find it. Anyone have any other ideas? TIA -- Colin Brace Amsterdam
