trying to install: kernel panic, cannot mount fs on block(3,1)

[FONE STAR]

I'm trying to install BT to HD of AMD-K6 (451MHz) with 128 MB or RAM (I know I'm pushing it..)

I get a kernel panic error saying it cannot mount the file system on block(3,1), hda1 I assume...

The strange thing is that QtParted from my Auditor Live disk identifies my sole partition as being FAT32, while cfdisk from the BT Live disk identifies my /dev/hda1 as being Linux ext3 file type???? I tend to believe QtParted as that would explain why it can't mount the file system. I know I'll have to create a seperate swap partition too cos I only have 128MB RAM, thing is when I try to fdisk this partition away it still is identified by both Auditor and BT the way it was before!

Do you think my HD is just plain screwed??

advise : wipe partition, delete it, recreate it, format it to ext2, install on this part....

it's sounds like part structure error....

Do you mean ext3?

Or ext2? thanks :)

We suggest ext2 because ext3 is a journalled filesystem.

You might be better with ext2 until your experience improves.

Do not hesitate to write with any queries.

Ah, ok, so ex3 is supported but ext2 will give you less problems ;) Thanks!
