Boot problems with bt (kernel panic)
Hi there,
I have trawled quite a few fora to find a solution for my problem, but have not yet found anything that helps.
I'm fairly new to linuxm, besides having worked a bit with Ubuntu, so the finer details of a linux installation is not my strongest side.
I have a setup that looks like this:
sda1 = Dell utility.
sda2 = windows xp.
sda3 = linux swap.
sda4 = (this is where i installed bt).
I installed from the live cd and used "real" install, with the option of using lilo mbr.
What i boot my pc, I get the lilo asking me which os to use (only bt shows, but thats not the issue right now).
When i select backtrack, it starts to work, then stops with a message about:
kernel panic.
My lilo.conf looks like this:
boot = /dev/sda
prompt
timeout = 60
#bitmap=/boot/splash.bmp
change-rules
reset
#vga = 769, 771/773/792
vga = 769
image = /boot/vmlinuz
root = /dev/sda4
label = backtrack
erad-only
#xp partition
other = /dev/sda2
label = windows
table = /dev/sda
Hope someone can help

Seems i managed to fix it......
Something with mounting from a folder:
-bt ~ # mkdir /mnt/backtrack
-bt ~ # mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/backtrack/
Still not sure what it does/means
but there you go....
