problem: Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown...

I'm created bootable USB-flash with unetbootin-windows-323.exe.

Then I'm try to load linux.

I'm see 1-st picture and select default option.

At the end I'm see 2-nd picture.

How I can fix that problem?

Thanks and sorry for bad English.

System specs:

motherboard = Gygabyte GA-8I865GVMK

processor = Celeron 1.7GHz

memory = 1 GB

HDD (2 pieces) = Seagate ST3250620A (if I'm turn off HDD from BIOS, then I got the same result)

I got this result with slitaz-4.0.iso.

---------------

But, then I try slitaz-3.0-xvesa.iso, then OS load successfully.

You used Unetbootin? Rather use http://mirror.slitaz.org/iso/4.0/flavors/slitaz-4.0-core.iso with it. The trouble unetbootin is having is that it can't find the right rootfs.gz file to boot off of because the default iso has 4 of them. The above link only has one of them and works pretty well with Unetbootin.
