Heh, nope, thats a serious one.

What is usually means is that you have either not compiled the root filesystem
type into your kernel, or you have made it a module instead of including it
as 'Y'. It could also mean that the disk has been trashed. It could also
mean that you have your root filesystem in your kernel pointing to the wrong
partition. The answer to the first is to rebuild your kernel. The answer to
the second isn't so easy. The answer to the third is to check your lilo.conf
file and make sure the 'root=' lines point to the right place and re-run
lilo.
