root filesystem

[Ron Marriage]

Hello Igor,

Did you make a seperate boot partition.  If so how big?
The VFS error can occure if there is not enough room in the
/boot partition.
This is especially true if you included source headers and
recompiled a kernel.

I had the same error and elimenated it when I made /boot 75
or 80 megs instead of the smaller sizes that I used to.

Hope this helps
Ron

I'm not sure quite what 0302 refers to, I might just try playing with system.map some more trying different combinations. I used fdisk to partition the disk to ext2, and it boots fine with the old kernel. I just want to make sure there's nothing that I'm missing. And if you want, just let me know if you want me to post system.map to the list. Thanks again!
