kernel panic on vfs:

[Jim Wantz]

Hi Jude,
Just for completeness, I'm going to ask a stupid question.  Did you make
sure that all of the lines in linux.bat were rem'ed out except the one
that contains root=/dev/hda1?  I think there is an uncommented line that
assumes a zip drive of some sort.  It's definitely before the one with
root=/dev/hda1.  Incidentally the computer I had my problems on was also a
Dell.
