... Try passing it=option to kernel
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh
I feel like such a newb!!!
I tried to install Mandrake 9.0 on the 5GB drive I have, and use it as a secondary drive on my main machine. It installed just fine, then it set the boot loader to what I assumed to be correct, but then when it rebooted:
Ext3-fs: unable to read superblock
mount=error 22 mounting ext3 flags
Kernel Panic: No init found...
I put the install disk back in and tried to "reset boot loader" back to windows, but no go, it didn't fix the linux boot loader (which I tried first), is there anyway to recover this or should I just start over?
And for future reference, should I just install on the 5GB drive for linux and the other for windows? I really wanted to dual boot. I would appreciate it greatly if anyone could help, I would just STW but I have a huge report due tomorrow and I need to use my computer. Thanks

I suggest you reinstall (making sure to install GRUB on the MBR).

Well I don't wanna give up on Linux and I would like to have Linux on the 5G drive for now and windows on my other is that possible or should I just make 2 partitions on my main and use one for Windows and one for Linux?

Windows is pissing me off, I'm installing Linux on the entire drive, I still have a copy of part of my speech so I am not at a total loss, thanks for all of your help everyone, be back soon, on Linux hopefully

Went out of town to help my grandmother move, waiting for my new vid card to arrive, and contemplating building a new box for linux instead of continuing to use this PII 266
good though thanks for asking,
