Machine: Ultra 10 Processor: UltraSPARC-IIi 300MHz Memory: 128MB Root Device: IDE Root Size/partition table: Unable to boot machine Output of lspci and lspci -n: Unable to boot machine Base System Installation Checklist: [O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it Initial boot worked: [E] Configure network HW: [ ] Config network: [ ] Detect CD: [O] Load installer modules: [ ] Detect hard drives: [O] Partition hard drives: [ ] Create file systems: [ ] Mount partitions: [ ] Install base system: [ ] Install boot loader: [ ] Reboot: [ ] Comments/Problems: I used to the businesscard iso image as the errata stated there were problems with the other images. I've actually tried to install via a previous version of the debian-installer for sparc, and I had this same problem. This is my first bug report. The system starts to boot, it appears to detect the IDE bus, the hard drive, and the CD-ROM. I'll pick up the dmesg from the point after it outputs that it found valid IDE devices. (I'm having to type this out.) ---- Uniform CD-ROM driver Revision: 3.12 alloc_area_pte: page already exists Partition check: /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0: p1 p2 p3 alloc_area_pte: page already exists SCSI subsystem driver Revision: 1.00 kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k scsi_hostadapter, errno = 2 [ Detects USB, snip snip ] [ Detects the mouse, initilizes cryptographic API ] [ NET4, IP, TCP, NET4 ] RAMDISK: Couldn't find valid RAM disk image starting at 0 Freeing initrd memory: 1831k freed cramfs: wrong magic sh-2021: reiserfs_read_super: can not find reiserfs on ramdisk(1,0) Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 00:00 Press L1-A to return to the boot prom -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
