Boot Problems in Suse & Fedora
Newbie with a kernel/boot problem.
I had been running SuSe 9.0 for a couple months until KDE crashed, afterwards the kernel wouldn't mount the root. A few days ago I installed a Fedora 1 distrib and the same problem is happening. I get a message of "kernel panic: unable to mount root fs on 00:00."
The cpu is one i built (fairly new hardware) and might have parts that are incompatible. I have had boot problems before with the dma being enabled, yet after i disabled it, it seemed to be working fine.
Do i need a patch? A different driver? Can anybody point me in the right direction?

Hard to tell what is wrong let alone if a patch or driver update (for what?) is required.
Are you dualbooting with Windows?
Did you install Fedora over SuSE using the same partitions (formatting during Fedora install)?
How are your partitions setup and where did you install the Linux bootloader (Grub or Lilo)?
What motherboard model (including chipsets) do you have?
Anything in the system bios that can be modified/disabled/enabled that might help? Disable power management? Disable DMA?
You could also have a look/search through the Installation forum as we have lots of previous threads that are somewhat similiar to yours.
