I just got an Emachines m5305 and I am trying to boot the latest release (2003-06-06). I have done a testdisk and all is ok.

I am getting the following error:
Autoconfiguring devices... OOOOOO modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module block-major-2
modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module block-major-2
