First my partitions weren't correct. I created an F0 partition, and swap and an ext2 for /. boot partition was missing, rather it was i /. As / is not mounted during the early stages of boot (my guess) the palo used to scream at me. Secondly, a strange observation. Partitions are created in the following order seems to have have some problem during from /boot/vmlinux. 50 MB of FO partition 50 MB of /boot 256 MB of swap remaining for / Problem is solved if partitions are created in the following order. /dev/sda1 1 95 97264 83 Linux /boot /dev/sda2 96 119 24576 f0 Linux/PA-RISC boot /dev/sda3 120 363 249856 82 Linux swap /dev/sda4 364 8683 8519680 83 Linux / Doesn't make much sense. One more thing to add, I am doing all this stuff on a N-Class.
