kernel panick 2.6.4-1.303

[Zach Wilkinson]

This is what I get (hand transcribed, so possibly incorrect):
-------------------------------------------------------------

VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem).
Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address fffef020
 printing eip:
fff3102
*pde = 00002067

Call Trace:

    VFS: Cannot open root device "LABEL=/" or unknown-block(0,0)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)


--------------------------------------------------------------
However, 2.6.4-1.300 works just fine.  Grub.conf shows the same options for
both kernels.
