| |
Hi:
I installed SuSE Linux 6.1 with kernel 2.2.7 in my system a couple of weeks ago. I had Windows 98 and Linux together. Everything was OK. Then I decided to reformat and repartition my drive to install the BeOS. After repartitioning, everything installed OK, but when I tried to compile my own kernel, I got the following error message when booting up:
request_module[block-major-3]: Root fs not mounted VFS: Cannot open root device 03:04 Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 03:04
I have tried repartitioning again to make totally sure that my Linux partition is below the 1024th cylinder. I have also created a boot disk and tried to boot with it, but the problem still remains. I also tried copying the boot files to my Windows partition and try to boot from there to no avail. The pair of numbers (03:04) change depending on how my disk is partitioned and on which partition I have installed Linux.
Some of my system specs are:
Pentium II 450 MHz 128 MB RAM 10.1GB Western Digital HDD (IDE) Adaptec 2920 SCSI controller. TEAC SCSI CD-ROM TEAC SCSI CD Burner
Any comment or suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you all.
Alejandro Montiel
