Alright..This is the deal. I am trying to install Slackware 3.3. Well, I
pop in the boot disk, and when it prompts me with LILO: I enter in: mount
ide2=0xFFF0h and hit enter. Now the reason I use ide2=0xFFF0h is so linux
can recognize my UltraATA harddrive attached to the Promise IDE Interface
controller.. Well, after that, recognizes my hard drive as /dev/hde1...And
that's great. Well, then it asks me to insert the root disk in the
drive..So, I enter it in..Then, this is the output:
VFS: Insert root floppy and press ENTER
[MS-DOS FS. Rel. 12,FAT 0,check=n,conv=b,uid=0,gid=0,umask=022,bmap]
[me=0x19,cs=0,#f=152,fs=0,fl=0,ds=0,de=46147,data=0,se=1587,ts=16843008,ls=2
55]
Transaction block size = 512
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 02:1c
Well, that's it..Then it just sits there and nothing loads up..I am use
bare.i for the boot disk and color.gz for the root disk..I made sure there
is nothing wrong with the root disk, because I tried different floppy disks
for it..Same result. :( If anyone can please help me, I'd appreciate it..
Thanks!!
