I've been using Slackware 10.2 for 2 weeks without any problems. But, yesterday, out of nowhere, this error shows up :
Code:
VFS: cannot open root device '80a' or unknown blok (8,10)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
kernel panic - not syncing : VFS unable to mount root fs or unknown - blok (8,10)
Here are some details about my system :
A part of lilo-conf
Code:
# LILO configuration file
# generated by 'liloconfig'
#
# Start LILO global section
boot = /dev/sda
message = /boot/boot_message.txt
prompt
timeout = 50
# Override dangerous defaults that rewrite the partition table:
change-rules
reset
///comments blah-blah...
# End LILO global section
# Windows bootable partition config begins
other = /dev/sda1
label = Windows
table = /dev/sda
# Windows bootable partition config ends
# Linux bootable partition config begins
image = /boot/vmlinuz
root = /dev/sda10
label = Linux
read-only
# Linux bootable partition config ends
So, 250 gb SATA HDD...dual boot system - XP and Slack 10.2.
Kernel version : 2.6.13 [i installed this kernel using Grogan's tutorial - Bitbender forums ] ]
ps. I also tried to boot from the first slack cd and then :
mount /dev/sda10 /mnt
lilo -r /mnt
reboot :P
No effect!
