Kernel 3.0 giving me panic :)
I was very exited to try out new kernel version so i decided to give it a try.
http://www.conceivablytech.com/7683/...-linux-3-0-rc1

So i downloaded the kernel 3.0-rc1 from
The Linux Kernel Archives


It was my first kernel compilation everything went smooth until i reboot the system .New kernel is not loading and giving me following error.

The root partition is using LVM and its having no trouble booting from previous 2.6.18-92.el5 kernel .
Code:
Red Hat nash version 5.1.19.6 starting 
reading all physical volumes. This may take while...
No volume groups found
Volume group "VolGroup00" not found
mount: could not find filesystem '/dev/root'
Kernel panic - not syncing :attempted to kill init!

I m not sure why its happening.Is it because the previous kernel was el5 and not rhel5.
Code:
# uname -r
2.6.18-92.el5
# lsb_release -a
LSB Version:    :core-3.1-ia32:core-3.1-noarch:graphics-3.1-ia32:graphics-3.1-noarch
Distributor ID: EnterpriseEnterpriseServer
Description:    Enterprise Linux Enterprise Linux Server release 5.2 (Carthage)
Release:        5.2
Codename:       Carthage

For starters, what does your bootloader entry look like?

The usual suspect when your kernel can't find /dev/root is that it simply doesn't see the disks. Remember that, if you're doing a simple boot without an initramfs and so forth, the drivers for your disk controller must be built-in, not modules. It can't load drivers until the disks are working, a catch-22 situation.
