One box I 'manage' [help the owner out with] has WinXP and RH 9.0 installed on the same HDD, using BootMagic as a boot loader. Everything went great for a while [some 3-4 boots] but now when trying to boot in Lin I get a "Preparing machine to boot Linux" message after BootMagic and it hangs. With the bootdisk, I get a kernel panic [some stuff about failing to mount /proc as I recall]. Theory goes, I wonder if Norton System Works may have something to do with it [being that both OSes are in the same HDD]. Maybe it thought the partition is corrupt or something... anybody any ideas? If there are any informations needed, please let me know.
