> Did you include the 'lba32' flag near the top of lilo.conf?
Yes, I did.
One of my partitions had been inserted not in linear physical order. On the
chance it would help I have repartitioned using a more conservative layout,
re-installed, and this time picked the GRUB loader as someone suggested.
Hasn't made a difference.
Now when it boots I now get "GRUB GRUB GRUB" and so forth. Booting GRUB from
floppy gets farther, but kernel panics when it tries to mount root:
grub> kernel (hd0,0)/bzImage root=/dev/hda3
grub> boot
... loads kernel and drivers ok ...
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 03:03
Here's my hard disk GRUB setup:
grub> root (hd0,0)
grub> setup (hd0)
And contents of /boot/grub/grub.conf:
default 0
timeout 30
splashimage=(hd0,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title=Gentoo Linux
root (hd0,0)
kernel (hd0,0)/bzImage root=/dev/hda3
Partitions:
/dev/hda1 100MB boot ext3
/dev/hda2 512MB swap
/dev/hda3 4GB root reiserfs
Has ext3 and reiserfs and the other items mentioned in the install
instructions built into kernel (not modules).
Suggestions?
Cheers,
Robin
