Help! RH 7.3 Won't Start

Hello,

The RH 7.3 installed on a Dell Latitude laptop won't start.

Here is the error message during startup:

kmod:failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k ide-cd, errno = 2
hdb: driver not present
mount: error 6 mounting ext3
pivotroot: pivot_root(/sysroot,/sysroot/initrd) failed: 2
Freeing unused kernel memory: 280k freed
Kernel panic: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel.

Not sure what this means. We have several identical machines that were
built from the same Ghost image and they work fine.

Thanks in advance for your help!

And you don't know better than to multi-poat.
