Hello everyone, the first time i installed SuSe 8.0 everything went just fine, i had some hardware problems involving a new HD so i find myself with the chance of installing linux again. Partitioning wise the linux dedicated hdb has a hdb1swap partition and hdb2 is the root partition, LILO was supposed to be on a floppy disk and default office with KDE desktop and the linux documentation where the packages i selected to be installed. It went fine during partitioning, package installation but, when it got to writing LILO to the floppy disk the system rebooted spontaneously. Any way i think i managed to complete installation by booting from the Cd and using the manual installation option in yast2 (LILO step was completly ignored) and then the boot installed system option, at least a password for root was set and a user was created. Once linux was loaded (working just fine) i went to the bootloader module in Yast 2 and to my surprise i find that lilo was configured to be installed in the MBR. Anyway, i changed that and configured linux to be booted from a floppy disk. Checked SuSE's support database in search for help but i cant seem to find a reference to the Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 03:42 error message. Can somebody enlighten this lost and searching soul? José Gabriel Arnewi
