[ale] Debian install on IBM R40 :(

[Mazukna, Thomas]

Hi crowd,

Being Debian to the bone I have installed unstable on my new IBM R40
ThinkPad.
I used new "sarge" netinst cd... everything went fine until I managed to
mess up my boot somehow.
Here is what happened.
Install went fine, but Debian is the only option in lilo, I have XP
sitting in /dev/hda1, so I went and edited lilo.conf.
When installing lilo complained about devfs not being mounted and that I
should refer to disks something like this:
/host/ide/target0/device0/lun0/disk or similar ....don't remember
exactly.
When rebooted lilo come up.. I can boot XP fine, tried booting Debian I
get to the point of mounting root and it stops their saying that
/de/hda3 has no valid table and it in not ext2 partition.

Tried booting from rescue CD I have, but it hung on trying to mount
root.

Any advice ?

Thanks,
Tomas
