I need some SERIOUS help...
Very Brief History: I had a (mostly self-built) dual-boot linux/win98
system running for about 2 days, and then it started rebooting at will. I
had the MB/CPU/RAM/CPU/Power replaced and now I'm staring all over again.
..but nothing works. I think its a hardware problem, but I'm going stark
raving mad trying to pin it down. Windows doesn't install, using 2
different CDROM drives (although they both may be bad) and two different
HDs (although one is too small so Windows install stopped), numerous
fdisks, formats, and scandisks.
So, in a state of despair, I tried to install linux to see what would
happen. I booted to the CheapBytes CDROM I booted to for the first
install, and it starts loading the kernel and doing autoprobe stuff, but
hangs after the following error:
partition check
hda
RAMDISK: compressed image found at block 0
crc errorVFS: cannot open root device 08:21
kernel panic: VFS: unable to mount root fs on 08:21
I have no idea what the hell this is, and I'm so sick of all this, I'm
wondering if I should just throw all my time and money out the window.
Somebody help a lost soul.
