The RHN just released an update to my kernel (2.6.9-5.03.ELsmp). I
installed it using up2date and then restarted the machine. I got a
Kernel Panic when I restarted so I've rebooted into the old kernel
(2.6.9-5.ELsmp).
The lines leading up to the error were:

Red Hat mash version 4.1.18 starting
Mounted /proc filessystem
Mounting sysfs
Creating /dev
starting udev
Loading jbd.ko module
Loading ext3.ko module
Creating root device
mkrootdev: label / not found
Mounting root filesystem
mount: error 2 mounting ext3
mount: error 2 mounting none
Switching to new root
switchroot: mount failed: 22
umount /initrd/dev failed: 2
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!

Here is my grub.conf:

default=0
timeout=10
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS (2.6.9-5.0.3.EL)
        root (hd0,0)
        kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-5.0.3.EL ro root=LABEL=/
        initrd /initrd-2.6.9-5.0.3.EL.img

        root (hd0,0)

        initrd /initrd-2.6.9-5.0.3.ELsmp.img

        root (hd0,0)
        kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-5.EL ro root=LABEL=/
        initrd /initrd-2.6.9-5.EL.img

How do I start to troubleshoot this?

Thanks,

Dean
