yes, it was! Now I can see messages (I simply put away that vga argument) and exactly I have a kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 03:04 I have a reiserfs for root, can it be a problem? Maybe it's something related to grub commands... I have: hda1 win hda2 /boot hda3 /swap hda4 / and this is the command in grub: root (hda0,1) kernel (hda0,1)/boot/bzImage root=/dev/hda4 I'll check if I put all reiserfs stuf in kernel Thanks Alberto -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
