Very Computer

I have set up Linux on my home PC without any problems.  I am now trying
to install it on my laptop, an IBM 360CSE.  I've created the boot and
root disks using rawrite.  I'm using the scsi and color144 programs.  I
boot with the boot floppy and its works fine.  The prompt for the root
disk appears and after inserting the root disk and pressing return the
following message appears:

VFS: Disk change detected on device 2/28
VFS: Insert root floppy and press Enter

I press enter again,

VFS:Disk change detected on device 2/28
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 02:1c

And the PC freezes up.  I can't seem to find any reference to VFS errors
and I have tried the tty144 program also.

Thank you for you help in advance.

Welcome to the Club!
Have the same problem here with a 360C when trying standard boot&root

I have tried the special Thinkpad boot (peipa.essex.ac.uk/tp-linux something...)
with **good** results, if you don't forgot to switch the diskettes
when you have the "uncompressing Linux" ...
(The tp-bare.gz is available here at ftp.cng2.hydro.qc.ca/pub/blangevin )

The only problem for me is that I want to access an NFS machine to
do the download, but that tp-bare is not PCMCIA aware ;-(

If someone know the way, please post here!
