My Linux stopped working with Kernel panic:

.......
md driver 0.35 MAX_MD_DEV=4, MAX_REAL=8
scsi : 0 hosts
scsi : detected total.
Partition check:
 hda: hda1 hda2 < hda5 hda6 hda7 hda8 hda9 hda10 hda11 hda12 >
 hdb: hdb1 hdb2
[MSDOS FS Rel. 12,FAT 12,check=n,conv=b,uid=0,gid=0,umask-022,bmap]

,se=45738,ts=-1123718558,ls=29157]
Transaction block size = 512
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 03:42
  
I rebooted with cntl-alt-del.


Lilo is on hdb2 (my /root partition)

This is my autoexec.bat on a:\
-------
Loadlin vmlinuz root=/dev/hdb2 ro
-------

This is my Directory of A:\

I wonder where is the culprit.
 It has happened before, few weeks back.
Not identical to this, but ending in Kernel panic.

I checked my partitions with FDISK. All partitions are there. All DOS
 is FAT16 (there's no FAT12 nor FAT32). All partitions looked normal
 under FDISK-DOS.

My Linux partitions are:

hdb2 /           100+MB 
hda7 /usr/local  256MB 
hda8 /usr       1000MB
hda9 /home       256MB 
hda10 swap        64MB

Memory 64MB. Pentium 2 - 160MHz.
Running RH5.0 default install.
There were no problems on exit. I had been reading docs.
I will have to re-install to get going.....
