Hi all,
I screwed the stuff in the first step.
I compiled the new kernel, copied the image to /boot/ directory and
updated lilo.cnf and run lilo. However, I commented out the part for
old kernel image. Now I have two options in the startup, my windoze
partition and new kernel. When I tried to boot with new kernel I get
the following error:
Kernel panic: VFS: unable to mount root fs on hda1
I just copied the part in lilo.conf and changed the image= part.
Anyway, is there a way to reboot my computer with old kernel and
change the lilo.conf so that I can try to fix the above error? I
have the installation disks for the linux.
Thanks so much,
Tevfik
