I REALLY NEED HELP !
Scenario:
I installed Slackware 3.0 (ELF release) - kernel 1.2.13 on a PC DX2/66 with
Windows 95. I choosed to install Linux on UMSDOS mode. I configured INN,
sendmail, ftp access, DNS... (it's for an intranet). And all worked very
fine.
So, everything was all right until one user boot the PC on Windows 95, use
a standard software (like Word or something else), and quit Windows 95 on a
clean way.
When i restart the PC, i discovered that Linux don't boot (see the error
message below) AND Windows 95 don't boot also !!
So, it's really a BIG problem for me :(
My answer is : How to fix it ? And how to make Linux boot again (Windows 95
is not important) ?

Many, many thanks in advance to all Linux Gurus.
Stephane.
