Hello all,
I'm trying to boot the latest CD version (5.0.1) on my T43 Thinkpad. I'm not extremely experienced with Linux-- I was hoping to use Knoppix so that I could gain more experience without having to dual-boot. When trying to boot, I get a couple screens of buffer errors and then finally:

Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(1,3)

What should I do? I did some searching but couldn't find any working solutions.

Thanks,
Kurt
