I am new to linux so any answer I would appreciate in the simplest plainest
language possible. I am getting the same error regardless of which
distribution I try and install on my machine. Currently, I am using a
purchased cd of the lastest fedora dist (text only, no graphics). I get
this error after the cd boots and I start the install. It stops at this
point.
crc error(6) freeing initd memory: 2941 freed
EXT-2 -fs unable to read superblock iso_fs_read_super: bread failed
dev=09:02, iso_blkenum=16, block=32
kernel panic: VFS: unable to mount root fs on 09:02
My system is a pentium 233, 4 gig hd and 128 meg ram. Old but should work.
It has one partition active right now - a 1 gig dos partition. I know it is
not my cds. I think something is screwy in my bios settings. Also I was
able to install basic linux earlier in the day but after I repartitioned the
hard drive to add the swap and linux partitions (which I have since wiped
with fdisk) I have hit this same error over and over. Any help would be
huge. Thanks in advance.
