[TriLUG] Re: Kernel Panic - any takers?

[Byarlay, Wayne A.]

What would be the best way to go about Rebuilding using mkinitrd? Is my
/dev/hda gone forever? If so, then I will abandon rebuild efforts and
use the opportunity to reinstall a newer kernel & go RHE.

I downloaded the "linux system recovery cd", and booted to it. If I try
"mount -t ext3 /test /dev/hda" I get error. 
VFS: Can't find ext3 filesystem on ide0(3,0). (Could this be a clue?)
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda, or too
many mounted filesystems

Boot a system rescue CD of some sort and make sure the initrd image for
the kernel you are booting from the hard drive still exists.  It may
have been wiped out in the fsck.  If it is gone, you'll have to rebuild
it using mkinitrd.
