Dear Sir,

I have a 40 GB HDD with following partitions :

PRIMARY
/dev/hda1 - 24 MB - XOSL dedicated
/dev/hda2 - 02 GB - Windows NT Worksataion 4.0
/dev/hda3 - 03 GB - Windows 98 SE

EXTENDED LOGICAL
/dev/hda5 - 04 GB - Shared Data FAT
/dev/hda6 -  14 GB - Shared Data FAT32
/dev/hda7 - 500 MB - Linux Swap
/dev/hda8 - 10 GB - Red Hat 7.1 Linux Native

I am multi booting NT,98,Linux from XOSL.

When I created 1 GB partition out of /dev/hda6 and
installed BeOS I can multi boot NT,98,BeOS. Linux
boots but gives the message "Kernel Panic:VFS:Unable
to mount root fs on 03:08".

However if I delete BeOS (or any partition before
Linux, for that matter) from MBR by Ranish Partion
then I am able to boot LInux without any problem.

It appears to me that inserting new partition before
existing Linux partition is creating problem. I even
tried to edit /etc/fstab but nothing happened.

DO I HAVE TO RE-INSTALL LINUX EVERY TIME I
INSERT/ADD/DELETE ANY PARTITION BEFORE EXISTING LINUX
PARTITION?

Let me know if there is any way out?

Ash
