This is my lilo entry for the basic 2.4.17 kernel that works:
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.17
label=linux
root=/dev/hda10
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.17.img
append=" devfs=nomount quiet"
vga=788
read-only
And here is the mandrake kernel-2.4.17-10mdk entry that panics on the root fs
mount:
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.17-10mdk
label=2417-10
root=/dev/hda10
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.17-10mdk.img
append=" devfs=nomount"
vga=788
read-only
Would the simple lack of the "quiet" in the append statement be a problem?
It doesn't bother the basic 2.4.17 kernel as regards to its ability to boot.
