Hi,

Did you try to boot 2.6 kernel using initrd as the initial root. It
should be ok as it is RAM disk,  and from that try to mount / or
run fdisk etc.. to figure out what is wrong with the parition table?

Nevertheless that was the right answer.
(Or at least part of the right answer.)

Since you provide precisely zero information,
it is impossible to provide any further assistance.

Hmm - no information at all?

Let me search the archives.

Aha. Boot, and give boot parameter "hda=remap63".

Thats an excellent question, unforch I don't know the definitive 
answer.  But to put that fear to rest, my / partition is on 
/dev/hda7, and /root is on /dev/hda5.  I would think that if thats a 
problem, I would have seen it, and I've been setup that way for the 
last 6 months or so.

That really shouldn't make any more difference than putting /usr on a 
seperate drive does, which is no diff, at least here.

Sorry Pablo, but I'm fresh out of ideas.  But there may be enough 
clues here that someone else can chime in.

Thanks for your answer, I use LILO but that root is refering to
presisely the root partition, in my case it its /dev/hda5...
It is well configured in lilo, I can enter with kernel 2.4... but not
with 2.6...
if you want to know, the exact Kernel error at the begining is:

VFS: Cannot open root device "305" or hda5
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on hda5

but I know hda5 is the partition, maybe there has something to be with
the fact that the root partition is logical, in the extended partiton...
I mean is not a primary partition... could this be true???

GIVEUP [bootup kernel panic 2.6.x] no root partition detected?

Hello again, after two days of trying to solve my problem I give up now.
I tried lots of diferent configurations, so I do not know if it is a
kernel BUG or what, because Ive seen similar threads in this mail-list
and in other lists, irc chats...
I definitevily giveup of trying use 2.6.x in that computer, if someone
wants to investigate what happened and need config files, logs or
whatever, just tell me...
I am sure it is a kernel-hardware interactuation problem, because there
is no configuration I can do for this to work... so... giveup...

Thanks anyway to all of you that took the time of reading this mail...
