Hi!
Today I upgraded my system from Pentium VX MB to ABIT BH6 + Pentium II =
333.
It has RH5.0, 2.0.31 or 32 kernel.
During first Linux boot after upgrade, there was a *lot* messages like
error in sector ** =20
but finally I've got to login prompt. The system was rebooted
at this point.
Now I cannot boot at all.
Next are the chages in boot messages that I can notice:
Unknow PCI device ... look pci.h
- I get it twice and I do have a custom compiled kernel
group descriptors corrupted ...
Kernel panic VFS: Unable to mount root ...
I think it's not the HD. All Windows partitions didn't suffer at all.
What can I do to get it working? Is it possible to restore HD content?
Should I upgrade to a newer kernel in order to get new HW working?
Thank you
Edward
