Hello, I recently installed Knoppix 4.0.2 on my PC there is dual boot with W2K,
the installation runs without a problem, but everytime that I boot appears this message:
Kernel panic-not syncing:VFS:unable to munt root fs on unknow block (3,6)
Can anybody help me to know, waht is happenning?
In advance thanks for your help.
PS The partition for Knoppix is 3.5GB and formated on ext3, 600MB for swap partition.
I think your kernel is unable to find root partition.
Boot your system in rescue mode and check diff. file system in your hard-disk
After doing that reconfigue your boot loader settings according to the ext3 file system.
If you are unable to do that, reinstall linux on your box.
I have already re-installed twice the system, and the same error appears, when I installed, my choise was install knoppix style, do you thing if i install on debian mode can i solve this problem?
Thanks
Hello friend
This problem is related to your file system, so forget to reinstall your system
Please give me detail of following things so that i can help you
If you give me above information i will can solve it easily .
Use rescue mode to do this work.
I think u know about it.
When installation begins u use rescue mode
use fdisk -l command to find out your partition

Thanks , Now arrange your partitions as
/dev/hda1 Windows 2000 System Partition (NTFS/FAT32)
/dev/hda2 NTFS/FAT32
/dev/hda3 Ext3
/dev/hda4 Linux Swap
I want to say that don't include your linux partitions between NTFS partitions
After doing that
Regards
Jai

Thanks for your help!!!
