    I did an 'apt-get dist-upgrade' of the system. When I then did an
    unrelated reboot of my machine, I found that I get a kernel panic:
    'Unable to mount root fs on 03:02.'

    I was making some changes in the BIOS to see if I could get my soundcard
    working prior to rebooting, but I can think of no changes made there
    that would have caused this.

    Looking at my sources list, I do have mantel-kernel listed. I did not
    see that the kernel would be affected when I did my 'apt-get
    dist-upgrade', but perhaps a new kernel was brought in. I did not make
    any changes to the system to accommodate this, so this could certainly
    explain the situation I have now :-(

    If this is the case, is there a way to recover from this???

    Thanks.
