Tom's list:
I've got a horrible feeling that this might be too grotesque an error to
recover from:
My 20G hard drive is, or was, dual partitioned 11G : 9G as
hda1 Windows98 FAT-32
hda2 ex2fs hda5 Linux
hda6 Linux swap
hda7 Linux
and booted using LILO. Windows doesn't see hda2 and there have been no
problems with scandisk (say, or anything else) which just sees a 11G
C: drive. But
=========================================
This morning I used Norton Speedisk on C:
=========================================
Now on selecting Linux from the undestroyed LILO menu at boot, after the
usual stream of info, now including the line
Partition check:
hda: hda1 hda2 < >
where previously there was
hda: hda1 hda2 <hda5 hda6 hda7>,
I get the message
VFS: cannot open root device 03:05
Kernel panic: VFS: unable to mount root fs on 03:05
Using fdisk 'p' after booting with the rescue floppy gives
/dev/hda1 Win95 FAT32
/dev/hda2 Extended
where previously there was a happy reference to all of hda2, hda5, hda6,
hda7.
Anything to be done?
Thank you.
