I installed kernel 2.4.0 on my ThinkPad 560 and after I was done, I made sure /etc/lilo.conf was correct and ran lilo, and I rebooted. This is what I got:
request_module[block-major-3] root fs not mounted VFS: cannot open root device "301" or 03:01 Please append a correct "root= " boot option Kernel Apnic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 03:01 I then rebooted to the old kernel, 2.2.16 successfully and tried installing the new kernel image again, but when I rebooted, I could no longer boot either kernel. I smell a reinstall; not even my boot disk could start Linux. Is there a way out of a reinstall? thanks -- Andrew
