Hi, I recently started having boot problems on one of my linux workstations. It looks like a hardware problem. However I needed some advice before I contact the customer service.
When I try to boot my machine it gets hanged at various levels of the boot process, a different level during each boot. e.g: first it displayed there was an error in some file, next time it hung up saying kernel panic, next time it hung up immediately after the LILO prompt etc. Thinking it was a kernel issue, I tried doing a fresh install and I got the following error messages. *************************************************** RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0 incomplete literal tree invalid compressed format (err=1) Freeing initrd memory: 2648K freed EXT2-fs: unable to read superblock cramfs: wrong magic FAT: unable to read boot sector isofs_read_super: bread failed, dev=09:02, iso_blknum=16, block=32 kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 09:02 spurious 8259A interrupt: IRQ7 *************************************************** Does this mean I have a hard disk problem or a motherboard problem ? Or does it mean something entirely different ? Thanks a bunch, Rahul. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
