Hi, Thanks for your further advice.
Unfortunately I still encountered the same problem after repeated trials. My partition table as follows Native partition for /boot 5 MB Swap 260 MB (2 x 128 MB RAM) rest for root partition I even tried installing Mandrake 7.2 first. After it works successfully, then I installed/upgrade it to Mandrake 8.0 But I still could not get the later to work. At re-start following warning signal prompts ; Kernel Panic:VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 03:05 Would it be the bug problem of my installer - Mandrake 8.0 ? ? ?
