Hello all, I recently acquired an older computer from a co-worker and I wish to get rid of windows95 and replace it with linux so that I may play. I have tried loading Redhat 6.1, Mandrake 7.0, and Caldera 2.3. All three have given me the same error: "Kernel panic: VFS: unable to mount root fs on 08:04". I have briefly searched the step-by-step site and the Caldera users list archive to no avail. The only references in the archive for this kind of task only say to boot the linux installation CD and proceed, well that doesn't seem to work in this case. Can anybody shed some light on this? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Here are some details about the computer:
Pentium 150 80 meg ram 6 gig hd (Seagate, I think) Creative Labs Banshee with 16 meg sdram Derek _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list Archives, Digests, etc at http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
