Hi,

I try to install FC4, Phlak and Auditor dists but I always get that error;

Kernel panic - not syncing VFS unable to mount root fs on unknown block (3,2)

I can install knoppix and our local distrubition named Pardus. I also try some kernel parameters such as; probe device and something that written in help menu.

Thanks for help

okie what do you with any of them set up the partition that has linux as? The error you are getting is that the partition that linux runs on doesn't have the proper supported filesystem support allowing it to read and boot the machine up.

hmm...

I mean I have dual boot system. I have a 5 gb empty drive that formated with ext3 with partition manager. and I have a backup drive for my apps.

before sending post I formated that 5 gb drive to Empty drive. But linux cant boot again.

Today I can successfully boot PHLAK distrubition. I used some kernel parameters.
If I use ACPION parameter linux works well.

Now I am searching what the meaning of ACPI and I am gonna try my other live cds.

I think if we use some parameters, there will be no problem.

waiting for your opinion.

ext3 should be part of the kernel by default on all installs. It shouldn't of paniced trying to mount then. SOmething was definitly off. ACPI = advanced configuration and power interface. ITs a replacement of APM that was only in the bios.
