From Yast, Hardware, Disk Controller, I moved a PCI RAID controller up

at boot time. Yast ran mkinitrd.
However, after rebooting I get the following error & the system can't
load;
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on
unknown-block (3,2)
The root partition is on its own system drive and is not on the RAID.
How can I recover from this?
It sounds like your initrd got remade without the proper config. You
fix it by booting up the SUSE rescue system (or perhaps Knoppix), then
mounting your root-filesystem, then edit /etc/sysconfig/kernel and
check the INITRD_MODULES setting. You'll need the appropriate modules
for the kernel to access your boot-disk (IDE, SCSI, SATA, USB or
something else). After you've modified /etc/sysconfig/kernel, chroot
into your mounted root filesystem and run mkinitrd, then lilo or grub.
Then exit, umount root and reboot.
