Hi,

When I try to boot using the 2.6.20-1.3003.fc7 kernel on the laptop
(Toshiba SatPro A10), I get the following error

VFS: Cannot open root device "VolGroup00/LogVol00" or unknown-block(0,0)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on
unknown-block(0,0)

I don't have a problem with the 2990 kernel

The grub lines look like this

title Fedora (2.6.20-1.3003.fc7)
        root (hd0,0)
        kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.20-1.3003.fc7 ro
root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet
        initrd /initrd-2.6.20-1.3003.fc7.img
title Fedora (2.6.20-1.2990.fc7)
        root (hd0,0)
        kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.20-1.2990.fc7 ro
root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet
        initrd /initrd-2.6.20-1.2990.fc7.img

Has something changed between the 2990 and 3003 kernels (more than the
usual improvements)?

TTFN

Paul
