    All,

    I installed a new copy of Fedora Core 2 on a Dell GX280 with and 80 Gig
    SATA disk drive.

    Everything installed perfectly and booted. I then performed a yum upgrade
    to get all the latest upgrades and that went perfectly.

    However, when I try to boot the new 2.6.10 kernel, I get a kernel panic
    saying "unable to mount root fs"

    I have no problem booting back to the 2.6.5 kernel from the original
    install, but I need some of the new features in 2.6.10. I have had this
    problem before with SATA drives and simply gave up and went back to an IDE
    drive, but this time, I need to resolve the problem.

    Has anyone ever been able to boot an SATA disk with an upgraded kernel or
    and custom configured kernel.

    If so, Please share ---- What is the secret??

    Thanks in Advance,

    John
