RE: [SLE] Kernel panic
![](https://seccdn.libravatar.org/avatar/6dbd124e7bd14fb899ae5f1d8e9b48f0.jpg?s=120&d=mm&r=g)
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block (3,2) The root partition is on its own system drive and is not on the RAID. How can I recover from this?
Used the DVD to recover. 'chrooted' to the root fs and ran LILO. Able to boot up. Do you happen to know how to manually assign an IRQ port to a device? Getting too many problems with the NIC and the RAID controller sharing the same IRQ. Thanks for your help. James

Now that you've mentioned it I see the same shared interrupts on a server that creates us a lot of problems. Try adding acpi=oldboot in /boot/menu/grub.lst

Should look like this: title Linux kernel (hd0,1)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda2 vga=0x317 selinux=0 splash=silent resume=/dev/sda1 elevator=cfq acpi=oldboot showopts initrd (hd0,1)/boot/initrd
