Thanks for the people who tried to help, the problem was solved, there was some kind of configuration problem in the setup of the PC, As I have a BusLogic SCSI card it has some kind of separate setup, and in the normal setup onlu have IDE setup options and supouse to be off to let work the scsi card, Linux was not able to mount the hard drive device so that is why it was entering in to PANIC state. ______________________________________________________________________________ Alfonso Barreto Lopez Inst. de Inv. de Matematicas U.N.A.M [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PLEASE read the Red Hat FAQ, Tips, Errata and the MAILING LIST ARCHIVES! http://www.redhat.com/RedHat-FAQ /RedHat-Errata /RedHat-Tips /mailing-lists To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.
