I got this today because I changed my disk layout from sda: [ Win 2k partition | Linux root partition ] to sda: [ free space | Linux partition ] via the NT disk administrator. It would delete the 1. partition and then _renumbered_ the second so it became number 1. Linux tried to mount root specifically from sda2, which wasn't there anymore... If something like that could be the reason, boot with the rescue and root floppies, change the fstab entry and root location argument for the kernel. Christian
