Hi,.

I installed and configured a 2.4.0 kernel for intel 815 support but when i create
a boot floppy and boot from it say it cant mount the root fs and gives a kernel
panic,
All this works correctly with my old 2.2.x kernel using the same process,..

Is there any way to give the kernel the root mountpoint on the lilo commandline,..

boot: linux root=/dev/hdd5 (which is correct for my system) does not seem to work.

regards
