I have some more info about my problem that might be useful. I booted up off of disk 1 of my Woody installation CDROM set. My root partition is /dev/sda2, so I entered the following at the "boot:" prompt ...
rescue root=/dev/sda2 However, this errored out quickly. I got a couple screens' worth of messages, of which I believe the final few lines are significant: Partition check: apm: BIOS version 1.2 Flags 0x03 (Driver version 1.13) apm: disabled on user request request_module[block-major-8]: Root fs not mounted VFS: Cannot open root device 08:02 Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 08:02 The system froze at this point. Would this indicate a hardware problem? Or is there still hope that this can be fixed with software? Thanks again to all of you, for all your help. -- Lloyd Zusman [EMAIL PROTECTED] God bless you. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
