Additional info:

Comment 1 Matt Wilson 2001-07-16 13:30:56 UTC
it looks like your system is set up to mount / by label (LABEL=/), but there was
no partition found that has the '/' label.  Can your system boot normally right
now?


Comment 2 Steve Jones 2001-07-16 19:15:11 UTC
Yes it boots normally, although I haven't figured out how to mount the eth0 or 
the cd-rom drive yet...

Comment 3 Brent Fox 2001-07-23 15:54:33 UTC
Can you provide more information about how to reproduce the original crash that
you saw?
