    Hi,

    On bootup with the latest kernel (2.3.99pre2) I am getting a kernel panic..
    I get the following error messages

    request_module {block-major-3]: Root fs not mounted
    VFS: Cannot open root device "306" or 03:06
    Kernel panic: VFS: unable to mount root fs on 03:06
    Please append a correct "root=" boot option

    I did not change the configuration of my system. I booted up fine with
    2.3.51 and then had this problem after compiling 2.3.99pre2 about 45 min.
    later.

    I am running an Athlon 500 with 128Megs of Ram 2 harddrives (total of 21
    Gigs) ,etc, etc.

    Nasa
