Hi, I'm dual booting win ME and SuSE 7.3 Pro. Lately I did a defrag on windows and when i try to boot linux , I get the following message kernel panic: VFS: unable to mount root fs on 03:05 I had lot of localization setting and more, can somehow I'll be able to get my linux working without reinstalling? TIA, anbu http://anbu.freeshell.org

The first thing to do is boot from the floppy or cdrom, and try to "boot installed system"; once logged in as root, run lilo. - $|=1;while(1){print pack("h*",'75861647f302d4560275f6272797f3');sleep(1); for(1..16){for(8,32,8,7){print chr($_);}select(undef,undef,undef,.05);}}
Hi, Thanks for imme. reply. I tried to boot from CD and tried "boot installed system" I get "No Linux root partition found mesg" I did a complete (spent some hrs) search in google for tha same error mesg. I get only messages posted, no answers .... Anything that could bring up my old setup could be of great help as I've spent m onths of work in customizing to Tamil language desktop, and settings . Its going to be real pain if I'm going to do that again. I had already reinstalled 5 times due to MBR corrupt , whenever I install new sw in windows. lately I decided to boot from floppy , and was working fine for the past 3 month s. Now again , for some reason I did a defrag in windows and again I'm lost!!! If someone could give me any suggestions to bring up my system could be of great help. TIA, anbu http://anbu.freeshell.org

I'm afraid this is your problem. Many, many times I've seen windows disregard the partition table when using tools like defrag. I strongly suspect winME has eaten your linux partition regards Anders
I regretably have to agree with Anders. It would appear that Windows destroyed the Linux partition, You should try to reinstall Linux and proceed through the step ups to setting up the partitions. Then look at what partitions exist (use existing I believe is the prompt). This might be rather interesting. I always find these posts to be humorour in a rather perverse kind of manner. Microsoft Windows x.x destroys the Linux operating system, and it is the Linux operating system which gets blamed. I guess it is a great deal of marketing.

Bill G has made a point repeatedly of stating that the presence of free software in any form violates his licenses, and trying to convince us that the GPL states that anyone who agrees to the presence of free software has given up their property rights. So you can see, in the news, that his software is not warranted to work correctly in this situation. I don't know why anyone would try to run ME with linux, but I can say that back when I was required to run Win98, I had an episode where Office 2K trashed itself and the linux partition. Win2K can remove a linux partition, of course, but I have not seen it happen without it being instructed to do so.
