Kernel Panic



I had my system hang last night while running a statistical process.  I used Ctrl-Alt-Delete to 
reboot.  Now I get a kernel panic.

UMSDOS: msdos_read_super failed, mount aborted .......

HPFS: hpfs_read_super: Not HPFS ...........

Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 03:05

Does 03:05 mean 3rd harddisk, 5th partition?  Linux is on Harddisk 1, partition 05.

Other things I have tried.

Booting from floppy, same error.

I have OS2 on my system as well. I dualboot to DOS and try the Debian install CD, but I get

boot from dos install
  ran out of input data   ---system halted

When I was compiling a kernel before I was able to use this to reset lilo but now it won't
work.


I have ext2-os2 so I should be able to read my linux partitions from OS2, but I am not able to
read the Linux partition.


Any suggestions on how to solve this problem?
