kernel panic on boot
Hi,
I have encountered a new problem with having 3 distros installed on one machine: my MDK10.0 recognizes my two harddisks as hde and hdf, while the Slack and Fedora distros name them hda and hdb. Now the LILO bootloader is installed by MDK and that's why all the partitions are named by MDK standards. So here is my /etc/lilo.conf: # File generated by DrakX/drakboot # WARNING: do not forget to run lilo after modifying this file boot=/dev/hde map=/boot/map default="Mandrake_10.0" keytable=/boot/no-latin1.klt prompt nowarn timeout=100 message=/boot/message menu-scheme=wb:bw:wb:bw vga=791 disk=/dev/hde bios=0x80 image=/boot/vmlinuz label="Mandrake_10.0" root=/dev/hde1 initrd=/boot/initrd.img append="devfs=mount acpi=ht splash=silent" read-only image=/mnt/hde6/boot/vmlinuz label="Slackware_10.0" root=/dev/hde6 read-only image=/mnt/hde7/boot/vmlinuz label="FedoraCore_1" root=/dev/hde7 read-only image=/boot/vmlinuz label="linux-nonfb" root=/dev/hde1 initrd=/boot/initrd.img append="devfs=mount splash=silent acpi=ht" read-only other=/dev/fd0 label="floppy" unsafe image=/boot/vmlinuz label="failsafe" root=/dev/hde1 initrd=/boot/initrd.img append="failsafe splash=silent acpi=ht devfs=nomount" read-only Now, when I try to boot either Fedora or Slack I get kernel panic and following output: (...) kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k block-major-33, errno=2 VFS: Cannot open root device "2107" or 21:07 Please append a correct "root=" boot option Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 21:07 I have tried to change root=/dev/hda6, but I still got the same message. Does anybody know what's wrong? thanx in advance |
what is fdisk -l say?

forget it, i've just fixed it: I added append="root=/dev/hda6" instead of root=/dev/hda6. If u ask me, I can't c the difference, but it worked :)
