http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=21
about installing a new kernel. after that when i boot the system to the new kernel all i get is:
VFS: cannot open root device "hda5" 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)
