[SOLVED] Kernel panic

[NP_complete]

The lspci outputs this, and the kernel config is here. I also compiled the kernel against the config in the live CD and STILL got a panic. This can't happen, right?

Any thoughts?

Thanks a lot.

Kernels can panic for a variety of reasons, though the most common for unproven kernels are variations on failure to mount root due to missing support for accessing the root device. The specific panic message might tell us why this kernel is panicking in this case.

Presumable dmesg or syslog before the panic might help, assuming this is not during boot. If it is during boot, perhaps a link to a photo (see other forum threads on panics etc. during boot).

@Hu and @Goverp, thanks to both of you. The kernel could not find root partition, so it had to be given explicitly.
