These are the messages if I try to boot my fresh installed system. And yes, sda2 is the correct partition. [...] Booting GENERIC on Alcor variation Bret using machine vector XLT from MILO Command line: bootdevice=sda2 bootfile=vmlinuz root=/dev/sda2 [...] VFS: Cannot open root device "sda2" or 08:02 Please append a correct "root=" boot option Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 08:02 Also I can see wrong sizes of the partitions if I use df or fdisk. This effect touches all harddisks. They are all using the sym53c810 controller, but the cdrom at the same controller shows correct values. martin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
