Re: [expert] Re:Kernel panic 8.0
Dale, I am not sure why lilo isn't working for you. (Personally I prefer grub, but it doesn't work in 8.0 for me. Argh!) In any case, pico is still there. It didn't get installed for you? Check the CD for it. As far as supermount, I can only guess since I like it. Have you tried editing /etc/fstab and removing the lines for removabale media? You should be able to manually mount and umount like usual then. I hope this helps! David Dale Kosan wrote: Okay,got it to sort of work. I took the Western Digital of the promise ata 100 controller and conected it to the motherboard instead.Installed fine, but have to boot with rescue disk, error at boot is missing o/s. I looked for lilo.conf but it is not there, I ran rpm -q lilo and it says it is installed.I then ran lilo and it said it added all my entries,linux,floppy,dos ect.I rebooted, NOPE STILL HAVE TO USE A FLOPPY.Any help would be real cool considering I have been fighting this for over a week.Also, what happened to the editor Pico? Also, how the hell do I get rid of supermount? I never selected it and I hate it.

Okay the problem is not resolved yet. I still get the cant find root at boot-up,during install it says it is hde6 which is what it allways was with 7.2, I did get it to go further by passing the following at the promt, linux root=/dev/hda5 ? ? ? ? ? ? HOWEVER, IT GOES TO BOOT AND CANT FIND MOST OF THE FOLLOWING DIRECTORIES, /VAR,/ETC AND MOST OTHERS! ! ! I re-downloaded 8.0 from a differant site,verified md5sums and I am still getting the above.Any help would be nice. The system config is as follows, two drives,a Western Digital as master, Maxtor as slave, both connected to a Promise ATA 100 pci card.Windows ME is the first partition, followed by swap,root,var and temp, all on the first drive.This worked with Mandrake 7.2 and Redhat 7.1. I don't want to move to Redhat but I am tired of fighting with this issue.Can it be a bug with the W-D drive? Maybe the Promise ATA 100 pci card? Tonight I may try and hook up the drives directly to motherboard but I don't know if I want to go this far.Any thoughts?

A few weeks ago Civilme wrote about how it was especially bad to pair together a Western Digital and a Maxtor. There were issues with timing and CRC checking. I'd recommend searching the older message to find this post to read the details.
