just to follow up on this. i have an older potato cd (dated 04Apr2000) the compact version (disk 2) of this boots just fine on my compaq dl360. the newer version which errors on my compaq dl360 boots on my laptop just fine (thinkpad t20). so i can only assume that either their is some sort of dependacy issue. if i can help debug this please let me know. adam.
okay the boot disks work fine but the cd will not. i've talked to two other people who've reported similar problems (the floppies work but the cd doesn't). is it posssible there is a bug in the cd? i got another older potato cd from home last night and i'll try that in a bit. adam. > > Partition check: > > ida/c0d0: ida/c0d0o3 > > [MS-DOS FS Rel. 12,FAT 0,check=n,conv=b,uid=0,gid=0,umask=022,bmap] > > [me=0x0,cs=0,#f=0,fs=0.fl=0,ds ... blah blah > > Transaction block size = 512 > > [MS-DOS FS Rel. 12,FAT 0,check=n,conv=b,uid=0,gid=0,umask=022,bmap] > > [me=0x0,cs=0,#f=0,fs=0.fl=0,ds ... blah blah > > Transaction block size = 512 > > Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 01:00 > > > > any ideas? right now my guess is that it's the compaq smart start > > partition that's screwing it up so i'm gonna try and delete that, > > re-configure it via the bios interface and see what happens. > > I toasted the DOS partition, but every time I've seen transaction > block size errors, I had a bad root disk (floppy or image). > > Stephen > > -- > Stephen R.
