Hello,
my box works fine since about two years with etch, and this morning I
installed cupsys, hplip ... I rebooted the machine and I got:
---------------------------------8<------------------------
input: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard as /class/input.input0
RAMDISK: Couldn't find valid RAM disk image starting at 0
VFS: Cannot open device "302" or unknown-block (3, 2)
Please append a correct "root=" boot ....
Kernel panic ....
My machine seems ok, because it boot correctly on puppy.(on an USB
drive)
The mbr seems ok, I can boot windows or linux until Kernel panic ...
I use: the package debian linux-image-2.6.24-etchnhalf.1-486 an the
bootloader lilo.
/boot/initrd.img-2.6.24-etchnhalf.1-486
/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-etchnhalf.1-486
Can someone gives me a clue to solve the problem otherwise that
to reinstall etch entirely on my box.
I would try a Knoppix CD and see what's out there.
I had bootted with knoppix and,
lilo.conf is ok
/boot/initrd.img-2.6.24-etchnhalf.1-486 seems ok
/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-etchnhalf.1-486 seems ok
I have copied lilo.conf on my usb stick and I did:
lilo -C /media/sda2/lilo.conf -M /dev/hda
backup copy of /dev/hda in /boot/boot.0300
The Master Boot Record of /dev/hda has been updated
But now, my box boot only on windows. linux disappearded ...
What did I do wrong ?
