Kernel panic - please help

[John O'Loughlin]

Also, the kernel mounts the root filesystem read only but it gets that 
partition passed to it from the bootloader, its init (which the kernel 
starts as the first process) that then uses 
/etc/fstab when it later remounts the root filesystem read/write.

I may of course be wrong!
