Hi,
I tried using a stock debian 2.4 kernel (kernel-image-2.4.17-k7) for the
first time before now I've been compiling vanilla kernels. I get the
following message while booting (after the LVM probing devices message)
cramfs: wrong message
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 03:41
I know this has been mentioned before but I can't see any solution, I've
added initrd=/initrd.img (which points to /boot/initrd.img-2.4.17-k7) to
lilo.conf and run lilo - below is my lilo.conf
Thanks
Nick
