I am running OSR504 with 2 IDE ATA 100 HDDs. A few weeks ago,
- I took out my 3Com 905c out and plug the Dlink 530 NIC instead
without uninstalling the 3Com's driver.
- Once I finished installing the drivers for Dlink 530, link_unix,
and build new environment, I reboot.
- The Dlink NIC wasn't recognised so I took it out, uninstalled the
Dlink 530 drivers and put the Micronet NIC instead. Everything went
fine so I left it there for 1 night.
- The next morning I found that the screen was screwed up and I reset
the computer. The following message was found and it asked me to
reboot.

----------------------------------
"PANIC : srmountfun - Error 22
mounting rootdev hd(1/42) Cannot dump 380745 pages to dumpdev hd
(1/41) Space for only 0 pages."
----------------------------------
I tried to use the "boot" and "root" disk from other server to
recover but the screen stopped when it comes to the following message.

-----------------------------
%floppy ...
%parallel ..
:Sentinel System Driver Ver PD-5.40
------------------------------

I have searched through the previous posts but most of them gave
different aspects to the problem.

Thanks in advance,

Chacrint

I've seen the srmountfun error when the geometry on an [E]IDE hard
drive has been changed - Check your system's BIOS for the hard drive
settings.
