Hi.  I'm running RedHat 6.0.  The lilo.conf file (attached) is just as
the installation program left it.  Linux is the default os.  If I hit
return to take the default, it boots normally.  If I just wait for it to
go into Linux on its own, then I get  the message:
kernal panic: vfs : unable to mount root  fs at 00:30
or words to that effect.  If I tell it to boot to dos, that works as
well as windows ever does.
Any thoughts?  It would be nice to be able to let it boot unattended,
since this is a laptop and gets booted a lot.
Thanks!
Nels.
