Kernel Panic

[Dake K. Odzangba]

Hi,
I'm having trouble getting rid of an annoying kernel panic.

Here's my /etc/fstab file:
> proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
> # / was on /dev/sda1 during installation
> UUID=81f05ad8-983d-4cbd-86d6-3466a3e8ca4f / ext4 relatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1
> # swap was on /dev/sda3 during installation
> UUID=f62c5221-ead9-4db8-a357-3087d7e3de11 none swap sw 0 0

and part of my /boot/grub/menu.lst file
> title Ubuntu 9.04, kernel 2.6.28-15-generic
> uuid 81f05ad8-983d-4cbd-86d6-3466a3e8ca4f
> kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.28-15-generic root=UUID=81f05ad8-983d-4cbd-86d6-3466a3e8ca4f ro quiet splash crashkernel=384M-2G:64M@16M,2G-:128M@16M
> initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.28-15-generic
> quiet

sudo vol_id --uuid /dev/sda1 gives me
>81f05ad8-983d-4cbd-86d6-3466a3e8ca4f

I've attached a picture of my monitor when the kernel panics but basically, it says:
>ACPI: Aborted because invalid compressed format (err=1)
>RAMDISK: ran out of compressed data
>invalid compressed format (err=1)
>Kernel Panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)

but when I delete the
>crashkernel=384M-2G:64M@16M,2G-:128M@16M

and replace
>root=UUID=81f05ad8-983d-4cbd-86d6-3466a3e8ca4f

with
>root=/dev/sda1

so that the "kernel" stanza becomes
> kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.28-15-generic root=/dev/sda1 ro quiet splash

The system boots fine. Any insight?

PS: I've also attached the fstab and menu.lst files just in case I missed something.

Cheers,

Hi Odzangba,

Sorry my slow reply.

I guess you had the problem because your image (initrd) was corrupt.
Try install again.

ACPI: Aborted because invalid compressed format (err=1)

I think the problem with FileSystem What's FileSystem did you use on linux?
Try recompile with Ext3.

But I suggest you reinstall your Kernel Version or  Linux Distribution.

Cheers
