[linux-help] Re: Kernel Panic at boot

["Justin Hamm" <jhamm@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

You had an invisible file, where?  I'm not exactly sure what you're
suggesting I do.  Its setup exactly as it has been for the past 2 months and
I haven't used windows for a little longer than 2 months. I always rerun
lilo after I recompile my kernel out of habit.  I guess it would have helped
to include that info, my bad.  Any other suggestions?

I just went through this, I had an invisible file there.  I booted with the
boot floppy and first told lilo to boot windoz first, then went back and
and set it up as before.  All works great.  I had also removed the extra
partition I had put in there.  I had squeezed in partition magic, which
changed my hda5 to hda6, which when it tried to boot to hda5 it never found
linux.  So after I took my mess out, then re-run lilo in the linuxconfig,
it corrected up my messing.

Here's the last few lines of my boot messages.

-- snip --
ds: no socket drivers loaded!
request_module[block-major-52]: Root fs not mounted
VFS: Cannot open root device "341b" or 34:1b
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 34:1b

Here's my lilo.conf file

-- snip --

lba32
boot=/dev/hda
install=/boot/boot.b
map=/boot/map
delay=200
vga=normal
append="mem=512mb"

default=Linux
image=/vmlinuz
        root=/dev/hdb1
        label=Linux
        read-only

image=/vmlinuz.old
        label=LinuxOld
        read-only
        optional

other=/dev/hda1
        label=Win
        table=/dev/hda

I do have IDE support built into the kernel, I've rechecked that 5 or 6
times to make sure that during the kernel config I have everything I need
selected, Regardless, I get the message that appears at the top. I have
reran /sbin/lilo to update.  Any thoughts, ideas?
