1 GURB works great...but when I tries to mount the partition that has the root
2 filesystems on it it kernel panics...
3
4 Request_module[IDE-Disk]: Root fs not mounted
5 hda: driver not present
6 VFS: cannot open root device "hda4"
7 Please append a correct "root=" boot option
8 Kernel panic: VFS unable to mount root fs on hda4
9
10 I checked my grub options and I do have a "root=/dev/hda4"
11 after "kernel /boot/bzImage". What can I do? It will boot fine if I boot the
12 CD and type "linux root=/dev/hda4". Thanks in advance!
