Hi again . I get lilo working I have installed on the 6,4 gb disk that is on hda . I made two partitions one / with 5889 mb ext2 and the rest for swap. Well instalation went ok. No problem at all. On reboot lilo was working ok , I choose linux , everything started until ... Kernel panic Can't mount VFS Root 03:01 and stops.   Why? This my hardware configuration if it helps for something Asus A7V266-E (1004B Bios) with Promise ATA 100 Athlon 1800+ XP hda-> IBM DHEA-36480- 6,4GB  UDMA 33 hdb -> Sony 48x Cdrom hdc -> Seagate 320423 UDMA 66 hdd -> HP 8100 CD-RW 1.0g hde -> Seagate ST360020 A 60 UDMA 100 Creative 3d Blaster Geforce 2 Ti 64 MB DDR AGP 4x Sound Blaster Live Value Hauppage Win TV 3com Serial Modem 56k (v92) Logitech MouseMan Optical Sony 200Sf 17" Iomega zip 100 parallel port   Thanks,                 Jorge Gim�nez       >Hi again. > >My problem is that I can't boot linux after installing >lm8.0. >I get  L0 instead of graphical lilo.
