I am getting: Kernel panic - Not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0) on boot
I installed Arch 0.8 Voodoo. The installation went just fine but when I reboot I get. I already have a working gentoo distro on the machine so I just used the exiting grub boot loader:
Grub.conf:
# Default is to run Gentoo for now
default 0
# Change timeout as needed
timeout 15
#
#Gentoo
title=Gentoo-ati-2.6.19
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/kernel-ati root=/dev/hda5 vga=791
#
#Kernel testing before installing
title=Gentoo-New

kernel /boot/bzImage root=/dev/hda5

# Arch (ARK) Linux

root (hd0,7)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sda8 vga=791

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1713848 Apr 15 05:06 vmlinuz26When I boot into gentoo and mount the Arch partition, I can get around and everything looks ok. I am not sure but I may had something wrong in the grub.conf file. I tried using hda8 instead of sda8 but that didn't work either.
Any ideas?:rolleyes::rolleyes:

seems you are missing your initrd...
this should do the job:
# Arch (ARK) Linux
title=ArchLinux
root (hd0,7)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sda8 vga=791
initrd /boot/kernel26.img
want a modular and tweaked KDE for arch? try kdemod

Worked like a charm
I was looking for the intird file, I didn't realize it was named differently in Arch.
It's up and running now.
