I was doing an unattended apt-get upgrade and my wife shut down the computer. The result was "LI" and no further. I had kernel 2.4.16 installed (SuSE 7.3), and tried booting from the CD. But since the CD is kernel 2.4.10, I couldn't get the modules to work. I had a copy of 2.4.16 rpm on the disk, so I tried forcing the install. That brought me up to the kernel panic: VFS message. What I wound up doing was installing the 2.4.10 kernel from the CD. That didn't create a modules.dep file, but what it did do was permit me to boot from the hard drive. Then I re-installed the 2.4.16 kernel, and I'm back in business.

Do mkinitrd which creates initrd in /boot. Do a lilo -C /etc/lilo.conf with boot=/dev/(your reiserfs partition) and under the image section

Ok great that worked the initrc loaded but when it attempts to load the module I get the follow error " kmod:failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k block-major-3 errorno=2 " then kernel panic. What now
