[lug] "Kernal panic:"

[Ralph Slutz]

I have Red Hat 6.0 installed.
When firing it up, after a couple of pages I received,
    "VFS: Cannot open root device 16:42
    "Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 16:42"
Then it froze.
CtrAltDel gave, "Stopping all mp device"
and sent me back to bootup.

(The time was not 16:42, but 17:05)
Can anyone suggest what I should do about it?

Thanks in advance,
