I just updated my Debian kernel from 2.4.25-1 to 2.4.25-3 and installed 2.4.26-1.
Now when I boot it fails with a kernel panic :-( The console log shows the following: <console> RAMDISK: Couldn't find valid RAM disk image starting at 0 VFS: Cannot open root device "305" or 03:05 Please append correct "root=" boot option Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 03:05 </console> It seems to be trying to use devfs which I do not have included in my lilo.conf. Using my Fedora installation I can see that the partitions and data are all okay. Could someone please tell me how I can stop it trying to use devfs and get it back to normal? How can I change my lilo config if I can't boot the system? Any help greatly appreciated so I can escape XP and get back to reality ;-) -- Simon Wong <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
