First it warns about needing a boot=option, then kernel panic: VFS: unable to mount root fs on 03:02 I mounted the boot floppy and here's what lilo.conf says: lba32 boot = /dev/fd0 install = boot.b map = map compact prompt timeout = 50 read-only image = vmlinuz label = linux root = /dev/hda2 thevenin:/mnt/floppy# ls -l total 648 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7964 May 3 19:26 boot.b -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 134 May 3 19:26 lilo.conf drwx------ 2 root root 12288 May 3 19:26 lost+found -rw------- 1 root root 5120 May 3 19:26 map -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 632393 May 3 19:26 vmlinuz thevenin:/mnt/floppy# df Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/hda2 474474 151783 298192 34% / /dev/hda1 31079 4698 24777 16% /boot /dev/hda5 77750 75 73661 1% /root /dev/hda6 1921156 535624 1287940 30% /usr /dev/hda7 4806904 319588 4243132 8% /var /dev/hda8 1921156 24 1823540 1% /tmp /dev/hda9 3518252 44 3339488 1% /home /dev/fd0 1412 649 691 49% /mnt/floppy Suggestions??
