Subject: ** HELP ! Can't boot from HD...

Hello !

    I have just installed Linux 0.99 (SLS) on my 386/16Mhz machine and every
    thing works well. At least as long as I boot from my floppy...

    I try to use lilo on my machine to boot from the hard disk but it doesn't
    work. I have a 60 MB HD with a 2 partitions : hda1 is for LINUX hda2 for
    swap. I have NO MSDOS partition.

    What I did is :

         lilo -c -i boot.b -b /dev/hda linux=/Image

    lilo reported a successfull installation but when I boot from the hard
    disk everything goes well : LILO starts, find /Image, the initialization
    of the kernel is ok, the partition table is reported ok and then I
    have the following message :

    ....
    Partition table ok.
    MINIX-fs : unable to read super-block
    EXT-fs : unable to read super-block
    MSDOS bread failed
    isofs_read_super : bread failed, dev 0x343 iso_blknum 16.
    Kernel panic : Unable to mount root.

    and then silence....

    Do you have any idea ?

Thanks a lot for your help.
Laurent
