Hello,
my customer ID number is : LM71DH1-30868587
I have the following problem. I will appreciate it if you can help.
I recently installed LM 7.1 on my PC which already had Win98.
I was using Grub as the bootloader setup to load Linux as default. Since
the Linux install I have re-installed Win98 on my PC. Now I cannot use
Linux.
The initial grub screen where it asks me to select which OS to boot (or load
Linux in the next 4 secs) does not appear. Immediately on turning on the PC,
Win98 starts to load.
So I used the Linux startup disk created during install and restart the PC.
Even that does not start Linux- I get a number of msgs leading to a
"Kernel Panic" mesg. The msgs are shown below:
------------
Partition Check
hda: hda1 hda2 <hda5 hda6 hda7>
attempt to access beyond end of device
03:03 rw=0, want=2, limit=0
dev03:03 blocksize=1024 blockno=1 sector=2 size=1024 count=1
EXT2-fs: unable to read superblock
03:03 rw=0, want=33, limit=0
dev03:03 blocksize=1024 blockno=32 sector=64 size=1024 count=1
isofs_read_super: bread_failed, dev=03:03, iso_blocknum=16, block=32
Kernel Panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 03:03
------------
Nothing happens after this. I have to reset the PC.
Please help,
thanks,
Vikram.
