    HI,
    I have installed RHEL3 on an external USB drive. After installation and rebooting of the system, I get "Kernel Panic: VFS:Unable to mount root FS on 00:00" after grub comes up.

    If I try root (hd0,1) I get:
    Filesystem is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
    kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.21-50.ELsmp ro root=LABEL=/
    Error 15: File not found
    Press any key to continue


    Here is some more information:
    grub> root (hd0,1) (TAB)
    Filesystem is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
    grub> kernel (hd0,1)/boot/ (TAB) .. and I get...
    grub> kernel (hd0,1)/boot/

    grub> find /grub/stage1
    (hd0,0)
    grub> root (hd0,0)
    Filesystem is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
    grub> setup (hd0)
    checking if "/boot/grub/stage1" exists.. no
    checking if "/grub/stage1" exists..yes
    checking if "/grub/stage2" exists.. yes
    checking if "/grub/e2fs_stage1_5" exists..yes
    running "embed /grub/e2fs_stage1_5 (hd0)"... 16 sectors are embeded.
    succeeded
    running "install /grub/stage1 (hd0) (hd0)1*16 p (hd0,0)/grub/stage2 /grubconf"... succedded
    Done.

    after reboot I get the same error. Any idea how to fix this? thanks in advance.
