Kernel Panic :-/
hi there,
i have on my system both win98 and Mandrake linux, with lilo as a boot manager. recently win98 made some wild reboots and i had to run scandisk and check my disk's surface. scandisk found some bad blocks and marked them.
but unfortunately now i'm not able to boot linux anymore!!
i get the "kernel panic, can't find superblock" error message.
i tried to boot with the small floppy linux distrib: tomsrtbt
and mount my filesystem with no success.
here are the informations i got:
(my linux partition is on /dev/hda5)

# fdisk /dev/hda5
The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 3737.
This is larger than 1024, and may cause problems with:
1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., LILO)
2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs
(e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)
