Hi all, I just took the time over last night and all day today to install Debian 3.0 from all 7 discs. I went through and did the partitioning and base stuff right, and shut it down and rebooted, so I had LILO right at first. I logged back in as root and went through the dselect options and added tons of stuff, but after stopping there and exiting through the proper menus, when I shut it down and rebooted, I must have done something to screw up the MBR, as this is what I got: __________________________
request_module[block-major-3]: Root fs is not mounted VFS: Cannot open root device "303" or 03:03 Please append a correct "root=" boot option Kernel panic: VFS Unable to mount root fs on 03:03 ____________________________ the only thing I could get it to do was this message below the others when I hit "Return" once or twice: spurious 8259A interrupt: IRQ7 so I am not sure if that is part of the error or I interrupted it by pressing Enter. I kind of "winged" this install, after reading lots of documentation, but the install options are usually pretty good about telling you what you should probably answer, so I kind of left things as the default whenever I didn't understand the question. There were a couple of prompts near the end that talked about the MBR or LILO or something and I was a bad boy and didn't make a boot floppy. So, does anyone have any input as to how I can: a) Get into the system to fix it, if possible, and b) Fix it? I feel that my step will likely be to boot with the first install disc, but I don't want to mess up al that I have installed on there already, if possible. Maybe that is the only way I will learn, though... :) So, any thoughts are certainly welcome and appreciated (please)! :) Thanks, Scott (sidewalking) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
