Kernel Panic on boot (2.6.18)

nGerrit · 2006-09-27 15:23:49

Hey,
i've just updated to kernel 2.6.18 and if i try to boot now, i get a kernel panic.

First it is "Failed To Parse block device name for "dev/sda1".
When i try to boot with the kernel parameter "rootfstype=ext3"
i get the kernel panic "not syncing: Attempted To kill init"

I hope you can figure something out to help me

# (0) Arch Linux
title Arch Linux
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz26.arch root=/dev/sda1 vga=795 ro
initrd /boot/kernel26.img

this is from the menu.list

after the first panic i addet rootfstype=ext3 in the kernel line

kernel /boot/vmlinuz26.arch root=/dev/sda1 vga=795 ro
the default kernel is vmlinuz26 without .arch
