Re: kernel panic when I tried to install linux.

Hi,
when I tried to install linux , I got error messages as
followings...

RAMDISK : Could not find valid Ram Disk image starting at 0
VFS : Could not open root boot device "NULL" or unknown block
(8,3)
please append correct "root" boot option.

A solution is suggested here. You could try to add an option for the
kernel at install boot prompt.

You maybe will find some help here:
