 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.
