FS#30 - Boot failure - VFS, Mount Point
Yesterday I installed Elive Revolution. The livecd worked without problems. But when I installed it, it stops after boot saying something like “VFS, invalid mount point (0,0)”.
The previous version of Elive worked well with my laptop.
Please resolve. Thanks.

Do you use a special hard disk type ?
Show your /boot/grub/menu.lst (not of the liveCD, but of your installed Elive, you can get it from the liveCD to /mnt/yourpartitioninstalled/boot/grub/menu.lst)
I do not use a special harddisk.
The actual error message I get is:
“Kernel Panic-not syncing:VFS:Unable to mount root fs on unknown block(0,)”
The original grub that comes up when I boot is:
title Elive
kernel (hd0,1)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda2 noapic acpi=off apm=power-off hda=scsi hdb=scsi hdc=scsi hdd=scsi hde=scsi hdf=scsi hdg=scsi hdh=scsi vga=normal splash=silent quiet BOOT_IMAGE=morphix
And the grub that is present in my installed Elive partition is:
title Elive GNU/Linux kernel 2.6.15
# kernel path-to-kernel root=rootdevice kernelarguments
root (hd0,1)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15 root=/dev/hda2 vga=normal
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.15
I also noticed today that Elive (previous version) detects my network and I can connect to Internet even with the livecd. But the new version (Revolution) does not detect my network. When I try to configure it, the system hangs. I think with all these problems, I may not install Elive Revolution.
curious problems... do you have tried to try another installation ? maybe from another iso/cd ?
btw i can recomend you to wait a little, im just building a new kernel for the next development release, is very posible to you have more luck for your network, and your grub (boot)... well, looks totally correct, but the error booting looks similar to this grub conf is wrong, strange...
anyways... you say “Kernel Panic-not syncing:VFS:Unable to mount root fs on unknown block(0,)â€
You are sure to say (0,) ? it needs to are 2 numbers, then, your menu.lst is wrong, but the one you have show me looks correct
I am sorry. That was a typo. The actual message did say (0,0).
I really love elive - the look and feel is really attractive to me. If everything else works fine, this would be my preferred version. I have tried atleast 15 other linux versions. Right now the linux distro I liked the most is Ubuntu, Kubuntu and Xubuntu. They are just great in the sense, everything works out of the box and I can do almost anything I do in Windows and so I am now a fulltime Ubuntu user.
