geebekazoo Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 After completing the online upgrade process, I attempted a reboot and was unable to get back into Mandriva, due a kernel panic. I then burned the 2010.0 install iso and attempted a rescue, but I got a lilo failure :FATAL: open /boot/initrd-2.6.31.5-desktop-1mnb.img: no such file or directory. Taking a look at the boot partition reveals that several of the new kernel related files did not get copied. So, using the 2010.0 rescue disk, I was able to chroot into the old system and use urpme to get rid of everything related to kernel-2.6.31-5 and keep the previous kernel. I ran lilo-v and the configuration was updated without errors. However, now when I attempt to boot, I end up seeing the following information: RAMDISK - compressed image found RAMDISK - ran out of compressed data invalid compressed format (err=1) Please append a correct "root=" boot option; here are the available partitions: VFS: cannot open root device "815" or unknown block (8,21) Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: unable to mount root fs on unknown block (8,21) Anyone have an idea what's wrong here?
