whoppix help

Hey, I just burned the new whoppix 2.5 release today and went to go boot up. Now here is where the problem begins. I boot using the fb1026x768 mode because I use a laptop. When booting I get this error Kernel panic:VFS:unable to mount root fs on 01:03. Now I did try to find a solution myself, and read that this has been solved by disabling the external chache. Unfortunately my pheonix bios does not allow this so I am trying to find out if it could be something else, or if there is any other solution. So, if anyone has come across this problem, I could really use some help on this one. Also, I have tried booting with the 2.4 kernel with the same results.
