My SuSE 8.2 system won't boot, giving the error message:
VFS: Cannot open root device "hda3" on 03:03"
Booting with the CD or a 7.3 system on another drive, I can mount
/dev/hda3 and it looks fine.
Everything except the boot partition (hda1) is reiser, and it seems to
be finding the boot partition.
I tried "boot=/dev/hda3" with the same result.
A power failure took the system down. It has been running for over a
year and has rebooted successfully many times. I did not change
anything recently. (i.e. no new kernel, etc.)
The hda3 partition is certainly there, as I can mount it if I boot 7.3
system, but I don't really have any experience with reiser filesystems,
so I don't know what to do. I ran fsck.reiserfs (or whatever its name
is) off of the intallation CD. It did consistency checks in read-only
mode and did not complain about anything.
I'm stumped. Help!!
