Hi ,

I am facing a strange problem .I am unable to install CentOS 4.0 on my HP DL145 G2 Server .I am getting the following error

RAMDISK: couldn't find valid RAM disk image starting at 0. Please append correct "root=" boot option VFS: cannot open root device "<NULL>" or unknown-block (3,3) Kernal panic - not syncing VFS unable to mount root fs

however CentOS 3.5 installs properly .Can anyone let me why this is happening ?

Seems like I had this same issue... different Compaq machine... when trying to do a LVM install. Using disk druid.. no problems. I think there are some compatibility issues with some of the Compaq raid devices.

Good luck, John Hinton
