hi ya
what filesystem is your / partition ??
- is it ext2 or ext3 or ??
- does the kernel you're booting support ext3 if needed ??
from lilo.conf, you're trying to boot the default /vmlinuz
kernel ...
- make sure it supports ext3 or reiserfs or whatever
is used for / ( presummably /dev/hdb4 -- wierd place to keep it )
- if you didn't compile it, you need to tell it where to find /
lilo# vmlinuz root=/dev/hda4
if you get tired of typing root=/...
you will need to run "rdev /vmlinuz /dev/hda4"
assuming that your / is on /dev/hda4
- or boot the other kernels instead till one
of um successfully boots
c ya
