I successfully installed Arch and Gnome but when I went to reboot I got this error message:
kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown block (0,0)
I googled the error message but none of the answers that other people had worked for me. Most of them involved editing menu.lst and I have done it so many times now that I'm not sure what was in there originally. I'm getting different errors now, stuff like "file not found" in reference to the kernel. I know the install is good. I was using it perfectly before I rebooted. Both / and /boot are located in /dev/hda5. This is what I have in /boot/grub/menu.lst:
(0) Arch Linux
title Arch
root(hd0,4)
kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/hda5
initrd /initrd26-full.img
(1) Windows
title Windows
rootnoverify (hd0,1)
makeactive
chainloader +1
The Windows entry is correct. I can boot into there fine. I just need to know what to put for Arch. I'm not familiar enough with GRUB or the kernel or init to know what should be there. Your help would be greatly appreciated. I was really loving Arch when I had it going.

First, if you are using the default kernel, the initrd file name should be "kernel26.img".
Second, your root device should be /dev/sda5.
Is your menu.lst file generated by arch setup?
Offline
The newer kernel versions change the hd* to sd* therefor when you installed arch you had no problems. But you updated it and installed the new kernel, which changes the names of the devises, menu.lst doesn't change by itself so you need to do that manually. Your archlinux entry should look like this:
(0) Arch Linux
title Arch
root(hd0,4)
kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sda5
initrd /kernel26.img
(I also think that you are using wrong initrd...)

Isn't it only sdxx for SCSI based hard drives? Which includes SATA.
I'm going to make another vote for the initrd being wrong.

it seems that you don't have a separate boot partition, so should the kernel and initrd point to the correct location of the files which would be:
kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sda5
initrd /boot/kernel26.img
Offline
With recent kernel versions IDE drives also appear as sdxx - see this thread:
Offline
I'm not sure if this will help because I have a raid setup, but...
My /boot is on sda1 and sdb1
My / is on sda3 and sdb3
This is my menu.lst for the stock kernel...
# (4) Arch Linux
title Arch Linux pci=conf1 [kernel26.img]
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz26 pci=conf1 root=/dev/md0 ro md=0,/dev/sda3,/dev/sdb3 md=1,/dev/sda1,/dev/sdb1 md=2,/dev/sda2,/dev/sdb2 vga=773
initrd /kernel26.img
# (5) Arch Linux Fallback
title Arch Linux pci=conf1 [kernel26-fallback.img]
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz26 pci=conf1 root=/dev/md0 ro md=0,/dev/sda3,/dev/sdb3 md=1,/dev/sda1,/dev/sdb1 md=2,/dev/sda2,/dev/sdb2 vga=773
initrd /kernel26-fallback.img
So in your case, beside changing hda5 to sda5 in the kernel line as Dheart mentioned, I think the only mistake you had was in the initrd line, where kernel26.img should be in your /boot dir. Also, I'm not sure if it matters, but I think you need to have a space between "root" and "(hd0,4)".
I would think your menu.lst should read....
(0) Arch Linux
title Arch
root (hd0,4)
kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sda5
initrd /kernel26.img

Thanks everybody for your help. After trying some of your suggestions, I finally got menu.lst the way it needs to be. Turns out this is the correct configuration:
(0) Arch Linux
title Arch
root(hd0,4)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sda5
initrd /boot/kernel26.img
Unfortunately, now I have a new problem. I'm hoping you can help me with this one too. As Arch boots, it gets to the point of "Checking filesystems" and then it throws this error:
/dev/hda5
The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2 filesystem. If the device is valid and it contains an ext2 filesystem(and not swap and not ufs or something else), then the superblock is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:
e2fsck -b 8193 <device>File System Check Failed
Please repair manually and reboot. Note that the root file system is currently mounted read-only. To mount it type ... When you exit the maintenance shell the system will reboot automatically.
I ran e2fsck -b 8193 /dev/hda5 and /dev/sda5 but that didn't seem to do anything. I know that when I installed Arch, I stipulated ext3 file system and not ext2. Was that a mistake? I didn't think it would be a problem. I'm just more familiar with ext3 and that's why I did it. Any ideas on this one. I appreciate all your help so far.

Try
fsck.ext3 -fv
In your /etc/fstab the type is set to ext2 or ext3?
Offline
Found it. fstab was mounting /dev/hda5 instead of /dev/sda5. Didn't even check for that. You got me going in the right direction, insane. Of course now, I have yet another error. I wanted to put my /home directory on a separate partition so I could share it between distros so I did that during the install process but I think I may have fudged it up. The entry in fstab right now is:
/dev/sda3 /home/myUser ext3 defaults 0 0
When I log in to run level 3, it logs me in with HOME=/. If I change the fstab entry to mount the partition to a different user's directory then everything is fine. I have all the directories and files that I had in home when I first started using Arch. But that makes me think that my home is not actually on sda3 but sda5.
I also have a problem with trying to log in at Gnome's login screen. I get these errors:
User's $HOME/.dmrc file is being ignored. This prevents the default session and language from being saved. File should be owned by user and have 644 permissions. User's $HOME directory must be owned by user and not writeable by any other users.
I click OK on that and then get this second error:
Your session only lasted less than 10 seconds. If you have not logged out yourself this could mean that there is some installation problem or that you may be out of disk space. Try logging in with one of the failsafe sessions to see if you can fix this problem.
I'm thinking this is probably related to the problem above but I can't figure out how to fix it. I've tried deleting and recreating the user but that gives me the same error. I've tried chmod 644 /home/myUser but that doesn't do anything either. Again, your help is greatly appreciated and sorry for being such a noob.

hi thrillhouse, i did the same thing when i created my home partition, your fstab should actually only mount the home directory
my fstab for home directory:
/dev/sda4 /home ext3 defaults,noatime 0 1
not sure if youll have to recreate your user or not, if you get taht session error again just go ahead and try recreating it next.

OK. I changed it. Rebooted, tried to log in and got an error message something along the lines of "Your home directory is /home/myUser but does not appear to exist." Then it asks me if I want to log in with / as my home directory. I did that but it won't let me cd into /home and I'm afraid that if I create the directory as root, it won't have the right permissions. What to do?

did you try to remove your user and recreate it with your fstab like mine? i mean, the way youre going, using / as your home directory, its just not the way to go if you have a separate /home partition.
really all you should have to do after you remove your user is:
useradd -m -s /bin/bash myUser
and you should be set, it should create your /home/myUser directory on the /home partition with no errors.
right now its looking for /home/myUser which doesnt exist because you had set it up earlier that your /home directory was actually /home/myUser...so if you look at it that way, your user directory was setup up to be /home/myUser/myUser which isnt right...so if you delete the user and recreate it with the correct mounting of the /home directory you should be solid.
^^that is my thought process^^

Offline
Yeah. That's basically what I did. I fixed fstab, rebooted, then used userdel to get rid of the user and then ran the same command you posted to re-create it. Rebooted again, tried to log in with that user and got the error. The weird thing is that the directory does exist.

yeah i dont know man, the only other thing i can think of is reformatting the /home partition and trying again.
i mean, its either some kind of config file that is still linked to the wrong thing or saying yes to using / as home could have done something.
im sorry i dont have a "concrete" solution, when it happened to me i did like i told you, come to think of it i deleted everything in /home, dot-files and all before recreating my user...so maybe that is it.
***throws hands in the air
yeah try either of those, see if it works

Maybe the partition you are trying to use is totally empty. Try to mount it somewhere else and the copy in that partition the contents of /home directory. Make sure you use cp with -R -p switches. When you mount a device to a folder then the contents of the folder are hidden and can't be accessed.
Offline
It wasn't totally empty but it only had the barebones in it: .bash_profile, .bashrc, .xinitrc and .xsession. I remounted to a different directory and tried copying the contents over but it didn't get all of the hidden files and directories with it and I can't find an option in the cp man page to do that. I also don't have scp to do it and can't get it because the machine is not connected to the internet. AHH.

this is a pain huh lol
im stuck on fixing the fstab and then:
userdel -r myUser
sudo rm -R /home/myUser
useradd -m -s /bin/bash myUser
and even that is a bit redundant cuz userdel -r should clear out all the files connected with myUser and then the rm -R should basically do the same thing (hell it probably will throw an error saying that the directory is not found), so there shouldnt be any files/users connected with myUser at that point. then you create the user with fresh directory.
who knows, try again maybe? lol
im really hoping that someone will see some small thing that we're missing so we can get this working for you

Aha! Got it. I wasn't using the -r option when deleting my user and I think that's what might have saved it. I can now log in graphically and am sharing /home between arch and fedora 7. Thanks a lot loserveg. Maybe you wouldn't mind helping me with this pesky resolution problem. Haha, I know it seems like my problems never end but this one I just can't get straightened out and probably shouldn't be too much trouble. I can log in graphically now but it's at 1024x768. I have a 24 inch monitor that supports up to 1920x1200. I'm trying to get to that resolution but just adding that resolution to the default depth in xorg.conf throws an error saying to set the monitor to 1920x1200 at 60 hz. I looked up the specs of the monitor and found this:
Max Sync Rate (V x H)
76 Hz x 81 kHz
I tried setting horizsync and vertrefresh to those values but it gave me another, different X error. I've been running hwd -x to generate new xorg.conf's and have been tinkering with them but I can't find a configuration that works for me. Any ideas?

well i googled a bit and it seems that you cant put 1920x1200 in the xorg.conf but rather Modes "1920x1200_60.00" which tells it to set it to 1920x1200@60Hz
dont know if that will work and dont come after me if some unforseen thing happens to your monitor lol but you can always try
Offline
Hmmm, that didn't work. I added it as a mode to the default depth and restarted X. The GUI came up fine but 1920x1200 was not listed as a resolution when I went to change it. And not for any refresh rate. I'll post my xorg.conf in case anybody can find something that might be wrong.

shouldnt there be a ModeLine for "1920x1200"?
Offline
I don't know. That's the xorg.conf that hwd -x generated. I've never used the ModeLine sections in an xorg.conf before on this monitor. If I added a line for it, I wouldn't know what values to put in for everything.

i used http://www.bohne-lang.de/spec/linux/modeline/ to calculate the modeline for 1920x1200@60Hz it gave me this
Horizontal Resolution: 1920
Vertical Resolution: 1200
Vertical Refresh Rate: 60.00 Hz
Horizontal Refresh Rate: 74.69 KHz
Dot Clock Frequence: 204.95 MHz# V-freq: 60.00 Hz // h-freq: 74.69 KHz
Modeline "1920x1200" 204.95 1920 2024 2272 2744 1200 1200 1203 1244
you might be able to get it to work using that

I added it but when I go to System -> Preferences -> Screen Resolution in Gnome, it doesn't list 1920x1200 as a resolution, only 1024x768, 800x600, 640x480 and 832x624.
