Hello,

  I am having a problem installing Linux Mandrake 7.

When I install from linux4win, I get an error telling me that my memory moduale may be no good, the exact syntax is: Kernal Panic, Dazed and confused but trying to continue. VFS- Failure to mount root file system on 008:001

I get the same error if I install from DOS from CD or HD. If I install from a floppy, everything is ok. BUT, after linux is fully installed and configured, the login menu will come up for a minute, and then start flashing on and then off the screen in about 1 second intervals, and I cannot type anything.

I have been at it on and off for about 4 weeks. Can anyone offer some suggestions? This is really bugging me. I have also tried 2 different versions of linux, mandrake 6.0 and red-hat 5, with the same results.

HELP PLEASE!!!  I will try to check back at this news group, but I am very busy, so PLEASE e-mail me instead if you can...

Thank You, Bob S.
