Kernel Panic

Here is how my drives are partitioned

Drive 1 : Win7 1TB
Drive 2 : Ubuntu | Arch

When I installed ubuntu on the second drive it installed grub2 on my system.

When I installed Arch I didn't select any boot loader in the installer.
I ran 'grub-update' in my terminal inside ubuntu and it recognized arch as being installed and added a item to the grub.cfg.

menuentry "Arch (on /dev/sdb3)" {
	insmod ext2
	set root='(hd1,3)'
	search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 5e5e650c-7d6a-4b0b-bd4d-d0e48b7794a0
	linux /boot/vmlinuz-linux root=/dev/sdb3
}

When I select Arch from the grub2 loader menu it displays booting elf etc. then shows me a kernel panic error.

Kernel Panic:VFS:Unable to mount root fs on Unknown block (0,0)

Any help would be appreciated.

Re: Kernel Panic

No initrd entry in grub.cfg . Archlinux stock (official repo) kernel will not boot without an initrd file.

Re: Kernel Panic

I copied the file name from the boot folder in arch.
That worked.

Thanks man
