Re: reason for kernel panic messages

[Sameer Dhavale <sameer.dhavale@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Pavan,
   I don't know the exact document which discussess all possible
reasons but I can list a few and most common reasons for kernel panic.

   - Proper filesystem support not selected.: You should select the
support for filesystems on your HDD and the RAMDISK. The kernel should
be compiled with this support embedded in kernel image and not as a
module.

   - Harddisk device driver not selected: Depending on the type of
disk connected to your system on which the root filesystem is
residing, corresponding support should be compiled in with the kernel
image.

   - Wrongly specified root device: you should specify the correct
path of the root device to the bootloader.

    Most of the times I got kernel panic message, these were the
reasons. I hope, this will help you.

  Namaste,

  Sameer
