memtest gives :
array a starts at 1075040264
found a total of 0 error
but when I use my rescue diskett "rescue" gives :
kernel panic: VFS: unable to mount root from 01:00
transaction block size = 512
rescue root=/dev/hda4 gives the previous result
How can I solve this problem ? (i.e. mount root at the correct point)
free gives :
total
Mem: 46192 (16+16+8+8)
swap: 88352 (~= 2xMem)
but swap is unable for swapon.
What can I do except reinstall potato ?
I saw in a previous post that apt-get dist-uprade load 300 Mb
and can solve the problem but with a modem it's better for me
to buy the six CD woody in USA !
TIA.
gerard.
