Another possibility: you have not compiled in the drivers needed to mount the root partition. - If you have a SCSI disk, did you select your card? - If you have an IDE disk, you should have selected IDE disk support. - Did you select the ext2 file system? Note that you have to have the relevant option compiled in the kernel, and not as a module (i.e., select `Y' in the configure process). (As a side note: can you still boot the old kernel? - type linuxOLD at the LILO prompt.) -- G. ``Iggy'' Geens - ICQ: #64109250 Home: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - Work: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> WWW: http://users.pandora.be/guy.geens/ ``I was thinking about how everyone was dying and maybe it's time to live.'' - Eels
