RE: [CentOS] New kernel causes kernel panic/unable to mount root

One thing to check is if you have kernel-unsupported installed in the old kernel version. If so, make sure to install the new version as well.

I decided to re-install the offending kernel RPMs and noticed this:

grubby fatal error: unable to find a suitable template

I'm wondering if it's doing mkinitrd at all. Out of curiousity, I did a manual mkinitrd and noticed that the resulting file was, like the previous new kernel install, much smaller than the 0.2 kernel version.

Still at a loss at the moment, but seeming to be making some kind of headway..

Thanks to all for their help so far, BTW.
