I had my system hang last night while running a statistical process. I used Ctrl-Alt-Delete to reboot. Now I get a kernel panic.
UMSDOS: msdos_read_super failed, mount aborted ....... HPFS: hpfs_read_super: Not HPFS ........... Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 03:05 Does 03:05 mean 3rd harddisk, 5th partition? Linux is on Harddisk 1, partition 05. Other things I have tried. Booting from floppy, same error. I have OS2 on my system as well. I dualboot to DOS and try the Debian install CD, but I get boot from dos install ran out of input data ---system halted When I was compiling a kernel before I was able to use this to reset lilo but now it won't work. I have ext2-os2 so I should be able to read my linux partitions from OS2, but I am not able to read the Linux partition. Any suggestions on how to solve this problem?
