 More information is needed. Hardware can cause this (hd went titsup for
 examp).  Less extreme is a software error.  Try booting to failsafe.  Or,
 try with the first install disk for recovery, and see if you can mount the
 root drive that way.

 mkdir /mnt/hd

 chroot /mnt/hd

 cd /etc/

 vi lilo

 and then

 Check to see that everything lilo (or /boot/menu.lst for grub) is pointing
 to actually exists where lilo thinks it should be.

 You will also find the rest of your drive (if it is working)

  If so, there is an option for re-installing the boot loader while in the
 recovery mode.

 If it were my system, my first inclination would be to boot with a Knoppix
 disk and have a look around to see if I could figure out what went wrong.
 Booting with Knoppix will show you all your drive's files and is the
 quickest option, if you have a disk, that is.

 e
if it was me, I would use the mandrake install disk 1 and when it offered f1 
for other options or enter to install, go for f1 and then go for rescue, hit 
enter when propmpted about 3 times, remove the disk when told and reboot...

I did suggest this--not in so many words.  But, the forensics for this sort of 
thing can be quite interesting, and ya ain't gonna fix it if the hd is 
titsup.  Knoppix will discover this immediately.  If the disk is good, I'd 
like a clue to what happened before I fix it.  In my case, it would probably 
be a brainkeyboardsystem problem.

[newbie] Kernal Panic

2003-04-04 Thread Chris
Came home from work to a real problem.  System was locked up in a reboot and 
there was something about a CRC Error.  I hit reset and got this:

CPU 0 Machine check exception 0004 then
Bank 2: f600217a at 0ec6c080.  I also noticed that the bios 
reported the cpu temp as 147F.  I looked in the system log and couldn't find 
anything.  Any ideas?  Hopefully the system will stay up long enough to get 
this out and get a reply back on what to do.

 Hi list
 
 Oh man have I done it this time!
 I am using LM 8.1. I was trying to install a local printer, went to the 
 printer setup in Hardrake, than half way through that when I was asked to 
 name the printer the system froze. I used Xkill to close the window, and 
 tried to start it all over again, but no luck it died again, but this time 
 I couldn't even use Xkill, so I hit the reset switch, and up came a bunch 
 of stuff starting with the word init.
 Tried to reboot again and this time it said: Kernal Panic: No Init found. 
 Try passing init= option to Kernal.
 Do I have to do a re-install without formatting, or maybe there is some 
 'geeky' magic stuff I can do at the konsole eh? What do you guys think?

Mick,

here's some geeky magic stuff for you. at the lilo/grub prompt...which ever you're 
using, try passing this to the kernel to get yer system to boot.

 linux init=/sbin/init

I believe that is the init the kernel is looking for. 

hope this helps...

Well if it was me,I'd run an update and not install anything new. I've had 
lock ups happen here as well. I've always had much better luck just cutting

[newbie] Kernal Panic and Router

2000-04-26 Thread SRJRM



I made a dual boot of win98 and linux.  I have two harddrives c: = windows 
d=linux

I got everything setup.  When I choose my linux from the boot menu it loads 
half way
they I get a KERNAL PANIC: VFS:  Unable to Mont Root 03:10

and its stuck.  I reinstall mandrake and it did the same thing.  But i 
loaded it before okay

Suggestions?


Also does anyone know how to make linux mandrake become a routerI have 
@home service with
3 boxes but only 1 ip.  I heard you can hook another network card into a 
linux box and have it give out ips.

The best solution would be to have a slack or other CD that has a live
system on it, so you could boot a whole linux off the CD and check your
partitions, examine your /etc/fstab file, ...
Or you could do some checks from your windows session if you have a
program to browse ext2 file systems (like exploreext2fs)
