Re: Unable to mount on 0,0 ....

["Ripin Natani" <ripinfs hotmail com>]

I am not sure but most probably I did not have ext3 support at all. The most 
confusing part is that when I changed the line to root=/dev/hda2 from 
root=LABEL=/ it works fine !!! Can it be related to ext3 or is it a grub 
issue ? The problem is that I am right now trying on a standalone machine 
with the final goal to compile the kernel on a VM. And on the VM changing to 
/dev/hda2 or /dev/sda2 (virtual device) does not work.
I hope you understand the problem.
Thanks,
-Ripin.
