Hi,
I'm hoping someone can help me out with my current problem. First I liked
to say good job on the installation part of Mandrake. Looks great and works good
too.
Now, my problem at hand is that I get a Kernel Panic. Here is the error
message when trying to boot up after the install is completed without
problems.
VFS : Cannot open
root device "2107" or 21:07
please append a
correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic VFS :
unable to mount root fs on 21:07
I'm not sure what it wants for options and how to get to the boot: prompt. I get
the screen that asks which OS I want to boot but can't seem to find the right
keys to get to the prompt. I did notice something peculiar when installing. The
install detected my HD as hde but when I try to boot up after install it detects
it as hda. Maybe this is causing a problem? I tried booting from the diskette
the install created but that didn't help. Same problem
happened.
