unable to mount root fs (Stylistic 510)
Having trouble installing linux on a stylistic 510

I'm having quite a bit of trouble installing Linux on my Stylistic Point 510. I have tried installing RH 7.1, Slackware 8.0 and Slackware 7.1.

I dont have a pcmcia cdrom drive or NIC, so I have had to install by moving the IDE HD to a laptop with floppy and cdrom drives and then moving it back.

The tablet is a Stylistic Point 510 w/ 32mb RAM.
The install laptop is a Toshiba 200MMX w/ 32mb RAM.

At first, I would get consistent GPFs at the beginning of the kernel boot. I added mem=32mb to my boot options to fix this.

Now, I get "Kernel Panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 30:2b" later on in the boot sequence.

Does anyone know how to deal with this problem? The install boots correctly in the install laptop.

Are you sure that you've specified the correct root device (hda1 etc) in your lilo config?

I got it working -- I had to move the hard drive between machines 10/12 times to get the install right; it turns out that the partition table got corrupted. I've fixed it and I have the drive booting.

Now, I'm trying to get X to look decent on it.

Glad to hear its working. Xfree4 and gtkeyboard are both running on my machine very well (if a bit slow) and of course thanks to a user on this list there is a driver for the touchscreen. Good luck and happy toying.
