Kernel panic

[Stephen Liu]

Hi Nathan,

Further to my late posting/email to you

Start RH7.2 on rescue mode from CD

# umount  /tmp/hdc1
No such file or directory

# umount /tmp/hdc2
No such file or directory

# cd /mnt/sysimage
# ls

fstab was not there, only mtab listed as follows:

fonts.cgz   group   keymaps.gz   kon.cfg   lang-table   loader.tr
minikon.fnt   mtab   passwd   pamcia   protocols   ramfs.img
services   terminfo

B.Regards
Stephen

No. I have not touched anything on this drive in question before I took 
action to fix this kernel panic problem.

My late discovery was that I have re-arranged the RAM, taking out some RAM 
cartridges and replace them with another reducing total RAM from 384MB to 
256MB.  However this box still works with another hard disk (WinME).

Have you had any idea how to fix the problem?

Thanks

Stephen
