kernel panic not syncing no init found


I have some troubles with s9.3

I am running from Grub, and I have more distro's on my hd's.

Here is my menu.lst from Grub :

menu.lst

color white/blue black/light-gray
default 0
timeout 8
gfxmenu (hd1,0)/boot/message

Everything is working exept the Suse 9.2 thing.

on HDC2 I finde the folowing files in the boot map :

file:/mnt/hdc2/boot/

file:/mnt/hdc2/boot/grub
file:/mnt/hdc2/boot/backup_mbr
file:/mnt/hdc2/boot/config-2.6.8-24.11-default
file:/mnt/hdc2/boot/initrd
file:/mnt/hdc2/boot/initrd-2.6.8-24.11-default
file:/mnt/hdc2/boot/initrd.old
file:/mnt/hdc2/boot/message
file:/mnt/hdc2/boot/symvers-2.6.8-24.11-i386-default.gz
file:/mnt/hdc2/boot/System.map-2.6.8-24.11-default
file:/mnt/hdc2/boot/vmlinux-2.6.8-24.11-default.gz
file:/mnt/hdc2/boot/vmlinuz
file:/mnt/hdc2/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.8-24.11-default

Since I have inspected the map from knoppix you'r seeing file:/mnt etc.

From what I've Googled there should be a location problem with VMLINUZ and INITRD but seeing the map I don't get it.

The simplest way is to reinstall. I can get all the files with one of the other distro's, but I like to get some knowledge and now what's malfunctioning.

Can anyone give me some hints?

Thanks in advance

I'd be tempted to change the name of the ramdisk and kernel images to include the kernel version - just in case. So initrd -> initrd-2.6.8-24.11.img and vmlinuz -> vmlinuz-2.6.8-24.11 . While I don't see why this is important, I had to do this myself and for similar reasons.

If it dosn't work, check your partitions with fdisk

========================================================

Your comment gave me some Ideas.
I thought I rename and copy the vmlinuz to a save place and replace it by vmlinuz-2............. which I can rename to vmlinuz.

Bad luck ! It is indeed the partition. Trying renaming or moving the files not possible because I get a lot of errors.

I had already saved my files on another drive, so I will reformat and reinstall the system.

Thanks anyway, sometimes your looking only in one direction and another fresh idea can help you.
