Package: debian-installer
Version: beta3
Severity: grave
Hi,
I tried to install sarge with debian-installer beta 3 netinst.iso and
2004-04-02 daily unstable snapshot netinst.iso on UltraSPARC Ultra10,
but kernel was failed to boot up with the failure of root filesystem
mount.
Ultra10 setting:
- default IDE disk (/dev/hda), cdrom (/dev/hdc)
- monitor and default keyboard is connected. No serial console.
Tried image:
- debian-installer beta 3:
http://gluck.debian.org/cdimage/testing/sarge_d-i/sparc/beta3/sarge-sparc-netinst.iso
- 2004-04-02 unstable daily snapshot netinsta image:
http://gluck.debian.org/cdimage/testing/daily/sparc/20040402/sarge-sparc-netinsta.iso
How to install:
- I downloaded above both images, then wrote to CD-R. Booted up
with "boot cdrom". Then SILO asked "boot:" default message.
I hit only return key. Kernel started to boot up.
Failed problem:
- kernel couldn't understand root filesystem then VFS mount got panic.
- monitor output said:
...kernel boot message...
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 00:00
Press L1-A to return to the boot prom
sunmouse: Successfully adjusted to 1200 baud.
Struggled:
- I inputed the below and so on, in SILO prompt:
boot: linux root=/dev/hdc mount=devfs,dall rw
But VFS couldn't mount root filesystem as same as the above
mentioned with the same message.
I tried to install with woody sparc debian boot image, and it was
completely succeeded. I think this is the current installer problem.
This problem was also reported by Alex Bartok <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (who
has Ultra 60) [1] to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Morten Werner
Olsen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> said he had also same problem with his
SparcStation LX [2]. I sent this report to debian-sparc, and he
suggested me to send this bug report to BTS.
Please fix it or teach me how to fix it if you know something about
it.
