Hi,

I installed FC2 on my test machine, to test my kernels and I keep
hitting the following VFS panic error:

My grub.conf looks like this:

<snip>
default=1
timeout=10
title FC2
         root (hd0,0)
         kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.5-1.358 ro root=/dev/sda2
         initrd /initrd-2.6.5-1.358.img

title test
         root (hd0,0)
         kernel /bzImage ro root=/dev/sda2
</snip>

The first kernel (default=0) works fine. The second kernel (default=1)
is a vanilla 2.6.13.1 and contains no modules; that is everything has
been compiled in, so I figured that I do *not* need a ramdisk (initrd)
and just having the kernel - bzImage (compressed kernel) is ample. The
config file is here:

The relevant sections from my fstab look like this:

<snip>
/dev/sda2        /                       ext3    defaults        1 1
/dev/sda1        /boot                   ext3    defaults        1 2
</snip>

Am I missing something?

Thanks,

Hareesh
