Start booting but prints this: > [...] > VFS: Cannot opent root device "hda4" or unknow-block(0,0) > Please append a correct "root=" boot option. > Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs or > unknow-block(0,0) > <6> Time: tsc clocksource has been installed. I don't know where is the problem, here is my /etc/fstab file configuration: > # /etc/fstab: static file system information. > # > # noatime turns off atimes for increased performance (atimes normally > aren't > # needed; notail increases performance of ReiserFS (at the expense of > storage > # efficiency).
