It's hard to know what the true cause of this problem is because: 1. my root partition may be too big (13Gigs) for my BIOS (GIGABYTE GA-6VX7+)
2. I just tripped over my power cord. I've been running Linux on this box without a problem for about 3 years, and just recently repartitioned so that I have one big root partition instead of a small boot partition and separate other partitions. I was unable to find out whether my BIOS supported INTx13 (is that right?) and didn't want to risk upgrading the BIOS. So I decided to just try a large partition, and if/when lilo failed, I would upgrade the BIOS. Now it has happened, and I'm getting "LI" at boot. However, now I can't even boot into my DOS partition to run the BIOS upgrading software. But before I even go down that path, here's something else: I tried booting of the rescue CD. I couldn't boot in rescue mode because it couldn't mount my root file system. Then I tried booting up the installer and mounting my existing root partition, and it failed with: Mount failed: Invalid argument I can actually view all of the partitions in the partition table, but I just can't mount the root partition. I can however activate my swap partition. Does this look like a hardware problem, or a disk format problem? Thanks, Ryan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
