Hello everyone,

I have been using Linux Mandrake 8.0 on my Dell Laptop for almost a year
now.  I set it up as a dual boot with Windows ME.  It has a single 10 GB
hard drive.

Last weekend I tried to install a software package using Windows ME, and
it locked up the machine.  I had to physically remove all power to get the
laptop to reboot.  Now, I can't seem to boot my Linux! :-(  Here is the
message that is displayed on the screen:

  Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 03:08.

Can anyone tell me if this is repairable?  If so, how do I repair it?  If
not, can I reinstall Linux without losing my personal data files?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Mike
