2.6.12 Kernel Panic

2.6.12 Kernel Panic

[ES L]

Dear all linux kernel experts,

Do help me asap as this is an urgent case. I'd compiled 2.6.12 linux
fedora kernel and I encountered kernel panic when i boot it. My
machine is Dell Optiplex GX520. This is the error message:

  umount /sys failed : 16
  mount: error 6 mounting ext2
  mount: error 2 mounting none
  switchroot: mount failed: 22
  umount /initrd/dev failed: 2
  Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!

Thank you very much for your prompt rescue!

Regards,
Lin

I doubt you'll find any help on the subject on the lists you posted to.
Those are kernel development lists and you have a distribution-related
problem, and with a very old kernel. Maybe searching the distribution's
archives or bugzilla will bring you to someone with the same problem ?
