Hello,
I encountered a kernel panic on sarge after M$ XP reinstalled,which i tried
to recover by all ways which i know.earlier too i got this problem ended in
reinstalling sarge.i already recovered grub.the partition number descended
by one number after windows reinstalled;Now i have my sata 80GB disk with
'/' at sda8 and'/boot' at sda9.i already recovered grub.but the kernel panic
which no other distros gave...please enlighten/help me getting this
solved...
here is the details:
system startup handwritten :(

scsi0 :ata_piix
ATA: abnormal status 0x7F on port 0xE007
ata2 : disabling port
scsi1 :ata_piix

VFS:Can't find ext3 filesystem on dev sda10.
mount:wrong fs type,bad option,bad superblock on /dev/sda10,
missing code page or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog -try
dmesg |tail or so.
Switching root ...
/usr/lib/yaird/exec/run_init ; current directory on the same filesystem as
root:Success
kernel panic -not syncing:Attempted to kill
init!
-----------------------
 as you can see the kernel is searching for ext3 on /dev/sda10 while sda8
now contains sarge and sda7 is swap...
heres the edited fstab...

also my grub,menu.lst nimn:
 ## DO NOT UNCOMMENT THEM, Just edit them to your needs

## ## Start Default Options ##
## default kernel options
## default kernel options for automagic boot options
## If you want special options for specifiv kernels use kopt_x_y_z
## where x.y.z is kernel version. Minor versions can be omitted.
## e.g. kopt=root=/dev/hda1 ro
# kopt=root=/dev/sda8 ro

 ## default grub root device
## e.g. groot=(hd0,0)
# groot=(hd0,7)

## should update-grub create alternative automagic boot options
## e.g. alternative=true
##      alternative=false
# alternative=true
## should update-grub lock alternative automagic boot options
## e.g. lockalternative=true
##      lockalternative=false
# lockalternative=false

## altoption boot targets option
## multiple altoptions lines are allowed
## e.g. altoptions=(extra menu suffix) extra boot options
##      altoptions=(recovery mode) single
# altoptions=(recovery mode) single

## controls how many kernels should be put into the menu.lst
## only counts the first occurence of a kernel, not the
## alternative kernel options
## e.g. howmany=all
##      howmany=7
# howmany=all

## should update-grub create memtest86 boot option
## e.g. memtest86=true
##      memtest86=false
# memtest86=true
