Weird problem after kernel/lilo upgrade
Hi,
I did apt-get upgrade yesterday, and additionaly installed the latest
kernel-image(4.25 and 6.3) debs. The system was not updated from about
mid February. I've rebooted the system after the upgrade, just to verify
everything is ok. Unfortunately now I'm getting the:
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 03:02
I've tried reverting the kernel-image to the previous one installed,
and also noticed that lilo was also upgraded in that "apt-get upgrade",
so reverted it also. I've also tried specifying different bootparams -
specifying the root device, giving the hda=noprobe hda=..., etc. etc.
I've also looked at lilo.conf, and ran lilo several times(the new and
the reverted version).
Unfortunately I'm not able to boot with any of the Debian supplied kernels.
I got an slack 8.1 bootable cd, passed the root=/dev/hda2 and it booted ok.
The kernel from netinsts cd from mid february also boots ok with default
params, but is not able with root=/dev/hda2.
Here are the last several lines before the kernel panic msg:
RAMDISK: cramfs filesystem found at block 0
RAMDISK: Loading 3948 blocks [1 disk] into ram disk... done.
Freeing initrd memory: 3938k freed
VFS: Mounted root (cramfs filesystem).
VFS: Cannot open root device "302" or 03:02
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 03:02
It's debian sid running on HP Vectra P3 500Mhz, 20G ide, 128 mem etc.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
