Re: [expert] Boot Loader Solved but more problems, now kernel panic

[Jorge Giménez Mayorgas]

Hi again.   I identify the problem but don't know how to solve it. The problem is on install  stage the promise controller is detected as hde but after installing is detected as hda and hda is via_ide on installation , and lm8.0 is installed on hda (via_ide.) . After installing linux can't boot because can't find root system. I put install cd#1 and try rescue mode, I succesfully mounted the / partition on hda and try to change lilo.conf (is aiming at hda instead of hde ) . No luck . Try modifying /etc/fstab . No luck.   Any ideas?   Thanks,                 Jorge Giménez     Hi again . I get lilo working I have installed on the 6,4 gb disk that is on hda . I made two partitions one / with 5889 mb ext2 and the rest for swap. Well instalation went ok. No problem at all. On reboot lilo was working ok , I choose linux , everything started until ... Kernel panic Can't mount VFS Root 03:01 and stops.   Why? This my hardware configuration if it helps for something Asus A7V266-E (1004B Bios) with Promise ATA 100 Athlon 1800+ XP hda-> IBM DHEA-36480- 6,4GB  UDMA 33 hdb -> Sony 48x Cdrom hdc -> Seagate 320423 UDMA 66 hdd -> HP 8100 CD-RW 1.0g hde -> Seagate ST360020 A 60 UDMA 100 Creative 3d Blaster Geforce 2 Ti 64 MB DDR AGP 4x Sound Blaster Live Value Hauppage Win TV 3com Serial Modem 56k (v92) Logitech MouseMan Optical Sony 200Sf 17" Iomega zip 100 parallel port   Thanks,                 Jorge Giménez       >Hi again. > >My problem is that I can't boot linux after installing >lm8.0. >I get  L0 instead of graphical lilo.
