[olug] can't find root parition

[Mike Hostetler]

I found that SuSE 7.1 was out at Best Buy (the one by
Oakview), and decided it was time to upgrade.  The
installation went reletively smooth (except for the fact
they didn't install the ncurses includes . . but never mind
about that).  I use a common kernal config file that I have
used for about two years, that has my sound card config,
scsi config, etc, in it, so it is lean and works really
well.  I was able to import it fine into the configuration
(through "make menuconfig"), but when I tried to boot, it
gave me an error, saying that I needed to specify a correct
root parition.  But I did . . . so I booted up with an older
build, and that worked fine, and the lilo configuration
seems to be the same (only they are pointing to different
kernals).

In case anyone cares, it booted up 2.2.18, and installed the
sources for 2.4.0.  It did install ppp-2.4.x and
modutils-2.4.  But it was the 2.4 config that had problems
but the 2.2.18 works.

Here is a copy of my lilo.conf.  Can anyone give me some
pointers??
