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 ===== May the Force be with you. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Send FREE Valentine eCards with Yahoo! Greetings! http://greetings.yahoo.com
