changed the root partition number resulting in panic
i went and installed BeOS on my hard drive cos i like it. stupidly i changed the number of my linux partitions and cant boot into debian getting a kernel panic, is there a way to fix this or is it lost.
thanx

I would think all you need is a rescue disk or live cd (if BeOS can't mount and write to linux partitions) then just edit your fstab to reflect the changes.
-
You will also have to alter your lilo.conf or grub.conf to reflect the change, depending on which bootloader you use. Don't forget to run lilo after editing lilo.conf, if you use lilo.

I use lilo, and to get the root partition to mount correctly, you just need to add after the image name (if you don't see it, hit tab). Also change hda to whatever your root partition is.
Linux has changed me...
I'm a GNU man now!

if you're using grub press c when grub is loaded,then you'll get a prompt,just type your linux entry there
(eg)
root (hd0,0) // hd0 is the first ide master device (hda), the 0 is partition 1
kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda1 //linux naming scheme here
boot

Including the bootloader you are using and the new partition setup would certainly help us to help you.

i never expected a reply to be honest.
heres the setup
new setup
partition 1 windows
partition 2 beos
partition 6 swap
partition 7 root filesystem
partition 8 home
original setup
partition 1 windows
partition 2 windows extra space
partition 5 swap
partition 6 root
partition 7 home
im now using the BeOS bootloader
where i previously used lilo.
