It shows the following while booting- root(hd0,4) Filesystem type is ext2fs , partition type 0x83 kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.10-rc3 ro root=LABLE=/ rhgb quiet [Linux-bzImage, setup=0x1400,size=0x187b53] initrd /initrd-2.6.10-rc3.img [Linux-initrd @ 0x1fcb1000,0x2eb22 bytes] Uncompressing Linux... Ok, booting kernel audit(1102189352.204:0):initialized Red Hat nash version 3.5.22 starting mount: error 6 mounting ext3 pivotroot: pivo_root(/sysroot,/sysroot/initrd) failed : 2 umount /initrd/proc failed: 2 Kenel panic - not syncing: No init found. Try Passing init=option to kernel. I am using Fedora 2 distro! The default kernel 2.6.5-1.358 that comes along with the distro works ! I had looked into various forums for "mount: error 6 mounting ext3", none of the aswers given by them worked, the answers like , making your ext3 module inbuilt ,also does not work ! Mine is a simple desktop PC with Pentium 4 512MB RAM, it does not deal with any SCSI stuff! Can somebody help me on this !! ?? TIA, Anand
