Folks,

I'm in the process of doing a rolling upgrade from 5.1 to 5.1A. On one XP1000 workstation, after the subsets are loaded and it goes to reboot on the new generic kernel, it gives a kernel panic: "vfs: unable to mount root device."

I've successfully mounted the disk after booting off of the CD-ROM, so I don't believe the disk is bad. This failure happens right after the NetRAIN configuration part of the boot sequence. When searching the newsgroups, I only found this problem in linux, which I can assure you, I am not trying to boot. :)

If anyone has any ideas, they would be greatly appreciated. My other 3 XP1000's upgraded without any problems, so this seems unique to this machine.

Best regards,
