Re: OT: System is not booting

Hi,
I've been doing end-user-support for quite a while (thank god it's a while ago, phew...) and will therefore ask you the most important question (and no - I will not accept "nothing"):

What did you change before you rebooted?

Regards,
svenXY

PS: Lilo is most likely not used anymore on your Linux, it has been replaced by GRUB on most distributions

(and no - I will not accept "nothing") When I get the answer "nothing" my next question is always And what did you change before you changed nothing? :-) Anyway, common causes for the error message from ree are (1) indeed a wrong (or missing) `root=` boot parameter, (2) file system or block layer drivers not compiled into the kernel or (3) the drivers are compiled as modules, but no initrd is used.

... which raises my question - I assume his system worked before and now it doesn't. Without knowing what he did (a.k.a. fucked up), all is guessing...	[reply]
