[SLUG] Kernel Panix

I am NOT amused.

I started getting these error messages immediately after installing new ram
on an ASUS K7V (slot A) with a K7-750mhz cpu.

"Invalid session number or type of track"

"Kernel Panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 03:05"

Thinking the partition holding root had failed, ("substance" happens) I
totally re-installed.

Then I re-installed while switching from ReiserFS to Ext2 for the root
partition.

Then I manually fdisk'd the whole shebang and started over. I have, in fact,
done 3 full and 2 partial installs tonight.

The bios sees 1.5 g of ram. Linux has been told about it (during each of the
installs). The mobo certainly supports this ram (3 x 512MB / PC133). But I am
definitely getting a recalcitrant error message and am forced to write this
email from the HP machine.

Oh yeah ... the Linux version is Mandrake 7.2. I don't think this is much of
a factor but I am including it for completeness.

Help?
