[linux-help] Re: Kernel Panic at boot

[Michael Holmes <maholmes@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm sorry, it was an invisible partition.  I had installed Linux and 
windows on my laptop. I had forgot to put in the boot magic, so I created a 
blank partition before windoz.  and installed boot magic.  Boot magic did 
not need a blank, it crated its own.  the 5meg partition became hda1, and 
all my other partitions became extended, and my table was off by one. 
 Sorry for the vagueness.

Mike

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
-- snip --

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

-- snip --

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?
