No, 03:05 refers to hda5. It means the kernel cannot mount hda5 as the root filesystem. Is it perhaps trying to mount it as fat32, while it is in fact ext2? Okay well I checked fstab, and it's listed as loading it as ext2. I removed the fat32 partition just in case (from fstab & with cfdisk remove) and it still panics. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

kernel panic
Just tried upgrading my kernel from knoppix 2.4.22xfs to 2.4.26-1-k7 while booting it grinds to a halt with error: freeing initrd memory: 3956k freed FAT: bogus logical sectro size 0 kernel panic: VFS : unable to mount root fs on 03:05 So the initrd.img is working. remembered to run lilo after upgrade. does the 03:05 mean the fat partition on hda3 is screwed? hda5 is the root ext2 partition have hda1 ntfs still for now. hda3 fat32 hda6 swap hda7 an ext2 linux partition (/backup) am only upgrading so I can make a nvidia module. mainly cause being on modem means weeks of downloads to get deb packages. already spent 9 weeks getting all 3.0r2 heh, the passion & patience :) Haldor -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Can you ping a known IP address (e.g. 194.109.137.218, which is www.debian.org)? What if you traceroute to it? What does "sudo ifconfig" report? Paste the relevant part of /var/log/messages into your reply, too. Okay, no couldn't ping a known address. can't find traceroute as a command. if config was long, same with /var/log/messages. it was defiantely something to do with the gateway. I sorta had it, sometimes. anyways... cut through the crap, removed anything in my machine hardware wise that was strictly not needed. (tv card, winmodem, netcard,usb2 card) and then installed using knoppix hdinstall. works a treat now :) then added hardware back, and all going sweet as after the little ifconfig eth0 down trick :) ultra happy. thanks heaps dudes.

My ethernet connection was interfering with ppp. Try # ifconfig eth0 down Then redial your internet connection. If it works, good. If not, undo this setting with: # ifconfig eth0 up No harm done. Might be worth a try. Mint! thats the trick. now how to make it always be off by default on boot? yet usable in the future.

I connect fine, using noauth pap, gives me a dynamic ip, gives me a remote ip. after 5 more installs today because I feel stoopid and must have done something wrong, it's still not working aarrggg bugga. good side got UT2003 installed nicely, and it does make a big difference playing on linux. much crisper. just have to figure out how to compile a kernel to remove frame buffer so I have an x console with the nvidia drivers. goshh Haldor -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Red Faction wrote: Sounds like resolve.conf issue. Look into /etc/resolve.conf and add name servers there if not listed or not assigned by dhcp. The name of the file is '/etc/resolv.conf'. This file will be updated automagically by pppd or by the resolvconf package if you have the latter installed (recommended). Probably all you need to do is set the "usepeerdns" option for pppd. Look in the global options file /etc/ppp/options , in the options file for your modem /etc/ppp/options.tty*, and in the options file for your provider /etc/ppp/peers/ to see whether that option is already set. You might want to read the Networking chapter of the Debian Reference for background information. -- Thomas Hood Okay, have the usepeerdns set, and /etc/resolv.conf auto magically does change now to suit the dialup now. have read (a) the networking howto on debian site, and has confused me no end. what mod do I need to make ip forwarding work in the nernel? 2.4.18-k7 I think thats whats why it's not working from my reading. can still dialup and get local and remote ip addresses, but cannot ping my isps nameserve. it just stays dialedup and nothing. thanks for your help so far.
