[Nolug] linux boot error

Hello nolug,
I am new to the user group and wanted to see if anyone has come across this
problem. I am running SUSE 9.1 and I am getting a Kernel panic when I try
to boot Linux. Linux was running normally for months. I have not installed
any kernel updates and the error started happening for no apparent
reason. I tried starting in rescue mode and running fsck on all
filesystems but to no avail. The following is the error that comes across
the screen on boot.
...
