I've got an 80 GB hard drive that I've had SUSE 9.1 installed on all by its lonesome. I decided to install the new Mandrake 10.1 beta on the drive as well and now can't login to SUSE any longer. During the Mandrake install, I said not to install a bootloader but it not only installed LILO but in the MBR as well, overwriting SUSE's grub.
OK, no problem. I'll just add an entry for SUSE in Mandrake's lilo.conf, boot back into SUSE, and reinstall SUSE's grub back to the MBR. No go.
I get a : "Kernel panic: VFS : Unable to mount root fs on hda1" error.
This is my /etc/lilo.conf:
