Kernel panic in core 4

[alteredg33k]

this is the error i get and i cant seem to find a fix for it. if anyone has any idea's i would greatly appricciate it

i can get the system up and running by itself but when i install Virtuozzo and then reboot this is what i get.


"mkrootdev: label /1 not found
mounting root filesystem
mount : error 2 mounting ext3
mount : error 2 mounting none
pivotroot : pivot_root(/sysroot,/sysroot/initrd) failed : 2
umount /initrd/proc falied: 2

kernel panic : no init found. try passing init=option to kernel."

Perhaps you should explain what Virtuozzo is and whether it affects the boot process. Can you boot from the first cd as a rescue cd? What files are in your /boot directory and what does your /boot/grub/grub.conf look like?

[alteredg33k]

Virtuozzo is a vertuial server software from swsoft and it does affect the boot process
this is what is in my /boot/

thank you for your help!

I'm still not getting the whole picture. Are the kernels you show all from the original install and updates? Or did you compile a custom kernel in order to get Virtuozzo to work? Is it true that you can boot from most of the kernels in your grub.conf but not the kernel that you want to use with Virtuozzo? Or do all the kernels fail?

One random thing to try is to turn off selinux.

[alteredg33k]

yes they are all from the original install and updates. no i did not compile the kernel myself virtuozzo does it now that i have changed some things in grub i cannot get into the system at all and i forget how to chroot to teh drive so i can edit grub.conf i have a fedora disc but cant get to the grub.conf and i am trying a gentoo install disc just to chroot to /boot but cant seem to do it

[alteredg33k]

i have selinux off

[tashirosgt]

As I recall, using the Fedora rescue cd, you do
chroot /mnt/sysimage
But that's from memory. When you use the rescue cd, it prints out directions about doing that.

I still don't understand what you mean by "virtuozzo does it now". Does virtuozzo compile kernels? Or is it some kind of replacement of grub? Or is it some kind of virtual machine that lets both Linux and Windows run inside of it?

[alteredg33k]

Virtuozzo is a VPS system. it turns my one server into may server that share the hardware and such. it is does not compile kernels it is not like grub. here is a link to the site http://www.swsoft.com/en/products/virtuozzo/benefits/ sorry bout the "virtuozzo does it now". i ment that it boots under the virtuozzo kernel which is 2.6. i got into the system and am changing grub now i will post what happens thank you so much again

[alteredg33k]

in /etc/fstab LABLE is a few different things could that be the cause
