Re: Kernel Panic [No init found]

Thanks for the note, Tsai. Here is the content of my grub.conf.

/*********************************************************/
#initrd /initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/hda
default=0
timeout=5
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
hiddenmenu
title Fedora Core (2.4.21)
        root (hd0,0)
        kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.21 ro root=/dev/hda1
        initrd /initrd-2.4.21.img
title Fedora Core (2.6.10-1.770_FC3)
        root (hd0,0)
        kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.10-1.770_FC3 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet
        initrd /initrd-2.6.10-1.770_FC3.img
/*************************************************************/

Thanks so much,
Harsha
