Answer / naresh
majority ther problem is with the grub.conf file and the
fstab file.
when grub.conf is corrupt it will not be able to find the
1) kernel loader (vmlinuz.2.6....
2) inital ram disk (initrd.2.6......img
OR .. it will not able to read the /boot directory
incase grub is correct and fstab entry is wrong in / section
or /boot section it will give the error

Answer / merit shyni
A kernel panic is an action taken by an operating system
upon detecting an internal fatal error from which it cannot
safely recover. Attempts by the operating system to read an
invalid or non-permitted memory address are a common source
of kernel panics. A panic may also occur as a result of a
hardware failure or a bug in the operating system.
