Hi
For some reasons I'm looking for easy to install and easy configurable
linux.
I remember that FC is really user friendly and against some of other
distros does not destroy hand made configs.
Installation passed successfully.
At boot I've got kernel panic.

I had similar problems using reiserfs. Ultimately, the problem was with
the "mount by label" system. Check your fstab. You will probably have
and entry like LABEL=/ rather than /dev/sda3. I assume (I use grub, not
lilo, so I don't know for sure) that there is a similar entry in the
lilo config. Use the dvd rescue to change them both from LABEL=/ to
/dev/sda3 and reboot. That should fix the problem.
