Using W98 on one drive, used second HD (not partition) to do a hard install with knx-hdintall. The install went without problem, although I did not understand what actually happened with LILO. Upon reboot, I got 99's half way down the screen.
I was able to load K with the boot disk, but unable to load windows with its boot disk, I got the messeage "unbable to proceed VFAT missing" or something to that effect.
I decided to restore W98 and when it rebooted a LILO OS option screen came on!! I opted to start W98 and just had to reset all options from the restore.
I shut down and tried now to load K from the LILO screen and the loading was going well until stopped at the following:
VFS. cannot open root device 1641 or 16:41
Please append a correct "root=" option
Kernel Panic: VFS: unable to mount root on 16:41
I need help!! I am going on 5 hours since I began the K hard install and I am going crazy. I know less than a noobie. Heeeeelp!
