Hi ,
I am ruuning Senmail with MailScanner on CentOS 4.4. It has updated to kernel 2.6.9-42.0.8.EL from its past kernel 2.6.9-42.0.3.EL.
Now the Server can not boot up and gives the below error.
mkrootdev: label / not found Mounting root filesystem mount: error 2 mouting ext3 switchroot: mount failed: 22 Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
But I can boot up from its last kernel 2.6.9-42.0.3.EL. I have booted it up from that kernel.
But I wnat to rectify that new kernel error in order to boot from that kernel.
Help needed.

The new kernel seems to have problems picking up the filesystem label.

I think as a work around you can change the grub.conf to use the /dev/xxx instead of the disk label.

i did changes it to as follows
kernel /vmlinuz-whatever root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet ....change it to..... kernel /vmlinuz-whatever root=/dev/sda2 rhgb quiet
but still the same thibg appears.

He cannot even get to that stage. His initrd image must be missing some essential drivers.
