I am running etch on a Dell with ide drives, using LILO I just used aptitude to install the latest security update to the 2.6.18 kernel, 2.6.18.dfsg.1-13etch5
The install produced a message about the fact that it was updating the running kernel and I should reboot right away - which I did. Reboot failed with kernel panic which was something like: VFS - cannot open root device "302" or block 302 not found (this is approximate). I tried root=/dev/hda2, and root=/dev/ide/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 - neither worked. I copied a backup of my old 2.6.18 kernel and initrd.img as another kernel image and ran lilo, all from the rescue cd. I booted the old system successfully. I then ran a reinstall of the kernel under aptitude, but it still won't boot. Any suggestions? Have my devices been somehow renumbered here? If so, how do I figure out what the new numbering is? Any other possibilities? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
