Howdy folks,
All I can say now is "Aaaaaargh!"
Had Linux up and running for year on my 'stock' GW2K P5-90. Added a SCSI
card (AHA-2940UW) and SCSI CD (NEC CDR-1410A) over the weekend so I can
install NT and SCO Unixware as well. My primary disk is in a removable
tray setup so I can switch OS's. In any case, now when I attempt to boot
Linux from the LILO prompt when my original DOS/Windows drive, I get a
kernel panic, can't mount root fs.
I figured, what the hell, I'll reinstall from the Slackware CD (2.0).
Used the aha2x4x boot since I now have a SCSI cd and not an IDE one.
Install seemed to go fine. Installed LILO once again on my master boot
record, and ... well... same thing.
Any clues?
Bruce
