Re: OT: System is not booting

[targetsmart]

since this is not a perl related question, I am just guessing some reasons for the problem

clearly you are passing some wrong options to kernel boot parameters.
during an attempt to see the kernel configuration file, unknowingly you might have edited that file, and failed to undo changes while closing the file.
you might have tried to use a different kernel version than the normal one and failed to give the 'root' kernel parameter .

BTW, tell us about, what kernel you are using?, what are the contents of the kernel configuration file?(just show us the area where you think the problem resides), Is it a new system that you are setting up from scratch?, or just trying to install an OS on a disk where you have only data; in the idea of using that disk as a separate bootable HDD?

give us more clarity on the environment and setup from where you got this error

sometimes you yourself can find the solution when you try to properly explain the setup and configuration details to others, I think that idea may also work, find a OS installation geek in your workplace and try to explain him what you have done, you/he may find a solution easily

Yes you are right, yesterday I checked the lilo.conf file in the first partition /dev/sda1, there all the information has been modified, So We changed it as,

prompt
timeout=50
default=TB-Main
boot=/dev/sda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
message=/boot/message
lba32



image=/boot/vmlinuz
label=TB-Main
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.28.img
read-only
root=/dev/sda1/ image=/boot/vmlinuz
label=TB-Backup
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.28.img
read-only
root=/dev/sda3/


Previously the 'boot' has been set to 'boot=/dev/hdc'

I also checked the 'fstab' and 'mtab' entries

The problem yet not solved, Now I noticed another error message said that,

Kmod:Failed tp exec /sbin/Modprobe -s -k scsi_hostadapter, error=2

Kmod:Failed tp exec /sbin/Modprobe -s -k block-Major-22, error=2
