Got extra information...
When I install linux ("Linux for Windows" aka Mandrake 7.2) from the CD in
the text mode (e.g. no fancy GUI) I can see something which I don't see
normally in GUI. Namely, at the end of
copying of all of the software from CD to linux file system file, I see such
error messages:
----8<----
symlink: can't create symlink for:
- initrd/loopfs/lnx4win/boot/vmlinuz
- initrd/loopfs/lnx4win/boot/System.b
- initrd/loopfs/lnx4win/boot/boot.b
----8<----
(might be a bit incorrect path, but this is what I get in terms of errors
during installation).
Is this what makes the problem with root device, root fs, VFS which can not
be mounted and therefore accessed when I try to boot installed linux?
Like I mentioned before, I end up with the following messages when I boot
linux:
----8<----
request module [block-major-7]: Root fs is not mounted
VFS: can not open root device 07:07
kernel panic VFS: unable to mount root fs on 07:07
----8<----
Is this the result of failing to create those symlinks?
What can I do about these???
thanks
