It looks like initrd.gz could not be mounted. The unknown-block(1,0) is /dev/ram0 (and has normally initrd attached to it) as specified on kernel command line. Do you use an initrd or an initramfs? Is the kernel compiled with initrd support? Is the ramdisk size big enough to hold your initrd? regards - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
