Hi all,

I guess I'm a newbie but please help me because I have one of those
awful problems where I can't even touch Linux at the moment.  

When I boot up Linux 1.3.0 all that stuff flies past about my hardware
unitll it gets to:

hda1 hda2 hda3 hda4
VFS: mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly

where it stops!, hangs whatever.
Using a boot disk and a root disk (colour.gz) i can get in and look at
my system but I can't find anything wrong.  The last thing I did before
this happened was recompile the kernal, I didn't have any problems there
but to recompile again I need to boot up properly right?
