Re: after power outage: Kernel panic: VFS: unable to mount root fs :(

 How do I interpret 03:04? If I boot off the boot floppy, everything is

It's /dev/hda4 (the 3 and 4 are the major and minor numbers; do 'ls -ld
/dev/hda4' to see this).

 fine. Have poked around for answers in the archives, but haven't
 figured it out.

 boot drive:
 hda1 - /boot
 hda2 - swap
 hda3 - /

 second disk:
 hdd1 - /disk1

But you don't have an hda4? What's in your lilo.conf or menu.lst
(for lilo or grub respectively) and what's in fstab?

after power outage: Kernel panic: VFS: unable to mount root fs :(

2004-10-20 Thread Royce
Had a power outage, and when I brought my Debian 3 system back up it was
hosed:

---
EXT2-fs: unable to read superblock
Attempt to access beyond device
.
.
.
FAT bread failed
Invalid session number or type of track
.
.
.
Kernel panic: VFS: unable to mount root fs on 03:04
---

How do I interpret 03:04? If I boot off the boot floppy, everything is
fine. Have poked around for answers in the archives, but haven't
figured it out.

boot drive:
hda1 - /boot
hda2 - swap
hda3 - /

second disk:
hdd1 - /disk1

Thanks in advance for any tips,
Royce
