First of all thank you who have helped out out with my triple boot
problem.
I can now write the lilo.conf file to boot with Redhat 7.0. Well come
up and get the boot to be able to select Redhat 7.0. But during the
laod up of RH7.0 it comes up with an error message:
Kernel Panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 08:41
Before I go on any further for those who don't knwo I'm trying to get a
triple boot with RH7.1, RH7.0 & win2k.
Now what I have done to get the boot working is:
-mkdir /mnt/rh70
-mounted /dev/hda7
-got access to hda7 (this is the RH7.0 partition) and made a copy of
the vmlinuz-2.2.16-22 to the /boot on hda5 (RH7.1 partition, main
partition) had to rename vmlinuz-2.2.16-22 as I was getting an error
saying name to long so it's now called vmlinuz-7.0
-wrote new lines into the /etc/lilo.conf, the new lines were;
image=/boot/vmlinuz-7.0
optional
label=RH7
-ran /sbin/lilo
-did a reboot and got the error message;
request_module[block-major-8]: Root fs not mounted
VFS: Cannot open root device 08:41
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 08:41
I know this error comes up because the partition/drive/disk for hda7
isn't mounted. If it was to stay mounted somehow would this then keep
on loading like normal and work? But how do I keep a mounted partition
during a reboot? Is that possible?
Thanks in advanced for the help people. Much appreciated.
Adam.
