Hello, I have come across a problem (others might have had similar probs) in relation to kernel 2.6.0. I'm running LILO 22.5.8 with Debian unstable with security updates, kernel 2.6.0test6. I have a problem booting to 2.6.0, here is the error I receive: -- snip -- VFS: Cannot open root device "1602" or unknown-block(22,2) Please append a correct "root=" boot option Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(22,2) -- snip -- Here is my lilo.conf file: -- snip -- lba32 boot=/dev/had root=/dev/hdc2 install=/boot/boot-menu.b map=/boot/map delay=20 prompt timeout=150 vga=normal default=Linux image=/vmlinuz label=Linux read-only image=/vmlinuz.old label=LinuxOLD read-only optional other=/dev/hda1 label="WinXP(hda1)" -- snip -- I have gone in and tried other suggestions from other lists.. such as adding a line append="root=/dev/hdc2" which had no effect, Also tried running root=1602 just for giggles but it also had no effect (as I didn't think it would.. but I ran outta options). Has anyone else experienced this problem when switching to 2.6.0? If anyone needs additional information, I'll be happy to provide it. Also, After I run /sbin/lilo to update any changes made, it keeps giving me: "Warning: The boot sector and map file are on different disks." Which I'm pretty sure I understand as a harmless warning, most dualboot systems could result in the same if lilo wasn't installed on the Linux partition... So I guess ignore that.. Thank you!
