03 is the major number for hda. 03:01 is /dev/hda1. The request module message indicates that you don't have a device driver for hda1which means that you haven't loaded ide-disk, or you didn't load ide-probe-mod before ide-disk from your initrd. One possible cause for this is that you loaded an initrd from a different kernel version and therefore the initrd couldn't load a module. > In lilo.conf is correct root=/dev/hda1 That part is being accepted. > For now, I can only boot from a floppy :( > > Is there a chance to find what dselect changed? Does your kernel-img.conf match mine?
