Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init
« on: January 31, 2010, 10:04:40 PM »
Just restored my RHEL 5.3 LINUX system to to different hardware using MONDO.  Now while I was successful in doing this on my 32bit system, my 64bit system is giving me the following errors:

mount: could not find filestystem '/dev/root'.
Setting up other filesystems
Setting up new root fs
setuproot: moving /dev failed: No such file or directory
no fstab.sys mounting internal defaults
setuproot: error mounting /proc: No such file or directory
setuproot: error mounting /sys: No such file or directory
Switching to new root and running init
unmounting old /dev/
unmounting old /proc
unmounting old /sys
switchroot: mount failed: No such file or directory
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init

Here is what I have done in an attempt to resolve:

   1. reboot system off of red hat rescue cd
   2. changed all my devices in the fstab to not point to LABELS but to the actual device I am trying to mount ex:..  /dev/cciss/c0d0p*
   3. reconfigured kernel using mkinitrd -v -f initrd*****.img (kernel)
   4. changed the mtab, grub.conf and devices file to point to the correct devices and not labels
   5. reboot
And continues to give me the same kernel error.  ANY HELP is greatly appreciated.
