Hi, Problem:
I'm trying to get a server built with 2.2r4 potato cd and keep getting the above error. I tried the boot options in f2-f8 and tried mounting various root.bins from specifying floppy0 at boot: then got kernel panic: no init found try passing init= option to kernel. I looked up the errors on the deb user list and found similar questions but no answers. One posting says: 'Your kernel does not support initrd and/or ramdisk.' But the suggestion is dependant on a shell and I can't get a console started. Another says: This is a common problem and it has only a few causes. First, check the device XX:YY against the list of device codes in /usr/src/linux/Documentation/devices.txt. If it is incorrect, you probably didn't do an rdev -R, or you did it on the wrong image. If the device code is correct, then check carefully the device drivers compiled into your kernel. Make sure it has floppy disk, ramdisk and ext2 filesystem support built-in. <-- informative but doesn't help right now. I have a rh7.2 disk I tried to boot with to test and had no problem other than not wanting a rh install. Another post I found via google said the only way that user got around the error was to compile the kernel elseware and then move it to the failing system but I don't know how to do that. Kernel-image is 2.2.19-4potato.2 Hardware: dell poweredge 350 1u server p3850 512 sdram ecc 2 20gig ide drives which are being detected by install script 2 intel pro 100 isa nics and one intell pro 100 pci nic. Thanks for any help, Justin PS: if anyone replies from the debian-boot list can they please post to the debian-user list since I'm not subscribed to the boot list. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
