I am trying to turn my new Dell Inspiron 6000 into a dual boot machine. It came with Windows
XP Pro installed. I used Partition Magic 8.0 to move the NTFS windows partition boundary to
give me room for Linux. I installed K12LTSP 4.1.0. The installation went okay but on the
restart I get the following screen text lines:
Uncompressing Linux... OK, booting the kernel.
audit(1110305405.379:0): initialized
ide0: I/O resource 0x1F0-0x1F7 not free.
ide0: ports already in use, skipping probe
Red Hat nash version 3.5.22 starting
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)
This does not appear to be a Grub problem but rather something else.
What do I need to do to fix this? Please be detailed as I am still
in the dangerous stage of learning (just enough knowledge to wreck a computer).
Thanks
Pat
