notebook: ibm 570e

everytime i make an softreboot i get the following error:

Code:

VFS: Cannot open root device "hda5" or hda5
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on hda5


it works when i'm turning the nb off and then on again.

ps: i tried several file-systems as / and several 2.6.x kernel;

Scratch that then :wink:

and your sure that /dev/hda5 is your main (/) partition and that /dev/hda1 is your /boot partition? Sorry to ask such a basic question, but aside from that, I'm clueless. Apart from making sure that you installed grub right...
