hi all, I'm having trouble booting after installing Mandrake 6.0 on my system. Upon booting, LILO starts up as usual and attempts to boot Linux, but soon it suffers a kernel panic, saying that 'modprobe' is busy and unable to mount the root partition. I noticed something weird, though. Although LILO starts up nicely, it later reports that no SCSI hosts were found, which probably explains why it can't mount root. Ideas, anyone ? My primary hardware is as follows: - Intel PIII on an Asus BX motherboard w/128MB RAM - Adaptec 29160 SCSI adaptor (OEM version) - Seagate Cheetah 36.0GB U2W hard disk Other info: - Linux is the only OS on the harddisk. - Partitioning is as follows (in order of creation): - /boot (allocated 7MB) - / (allocated 4GB) - swap partition (allocated 256MB) - /home (allocated everthing else) I later tried a 'recommended installation' Mandrake 7.0 and it booted up OK. That's nice, but I'd still like to know what happened with 6.0. Thanks in advance ! regards, leo
