hi
i get this error after i have edited lilo.conf to include knoppix.
kernel panic: VFS: unable to mount root fs on 03:08
this is how i have knoppix set in my current lilo.conf.
image = /mnt/knx/boot/vmlinuz
root = /dev/hda8
then i do a /sbin/lilo -v (after mounting all the devices)
then reboot
boot knoppix
then i get that error.
please help.

Your root partition for the image would not be mounted at /mnt/knx when you are booting that causes the error. Assuming you have not changed the kernel or the symbolic links you should just use image=/vmlinuz. Also that partition number looks a little high for a single boot system are you trying to dual boot too knoppix? If so list the disk layout and post the entire lilo.conf.

thanks stephen.
i have worked it out. i had deleted knoppix then reinstalled (with out lilo) then reboot to my current lilo and selected knoppix and it worked!! but the ONLY THING I CHANGED WAS FILE SYSTEM TYPE and nothing else. this is very wierd and i have to say that lilo does not like reisurefs. any info on that?

That is weird I boot reiserfs all the time and it works every time for me you must have had some file system corruption or a bad install somehow.

wel i have checked it out to make sure i was not making a mistake. i had repoduced the error and i was right. knoppix installed with reiserfs will not work but i had found out that it is also the same with other distro's i will keep working on it and see what happens.
