Kernel Panic

[Ops]

I updated my Red hat box recently to 2.4.20-20.9 through the RH network and now it gives me this error



VFS: CANNOT OPEN A ROOT DEVICE "LABEL=/" OR 00:00
PLEASE APPEND A "ROOT=' BOOT OPTION
KERNEL PANIC: VFS UNABLE TO MOUNT FS ON 00:00

In the kernel configuration options, I think it in the file options section, you need to disable kernel automounter options. there are 2-3 versions of the option so make sure they're all disabled.

Change your bootloader config for the new kernel from LABEL=/ to root=/dev/hda# (where # is the correct boot/root partition.

Post your bootloader config if you need advise.
