Re: [PLUG] RH v7.3 install on Compaq Prosigna 486

[Jim Foster <jif@computer.org>]

Thanks Chris, that allowed the install to go a bit further.  But now this:

EXT2-fs: Unable to read superblock
cramfs: wrong magic
FAT: unable to read boot sector
isofs_read_super: bread failed, dev=09:00, iso_blknum=16, block=32
Kernel panic: VFS: unable to mount root fs on 09:00

Halts there, system must be powered down manually.

Any ideas?
