Hi, I can't boot 2.6.8 and 2.6.10 kernels on my system while 2.6.7 was installed on same system and starts without problems few months ago.
I got the same error like others - cannot open dev/console, preceded by a message from pivot_root which does not found the root partition. I use grub and xfs file system on SATA drive (hde) on system with Athlon (k7) CPU. Tried several initrd versions (0.1.77, 0.1.76, 0.1.73, 0.1.67), but without success :( AFAIK when I installed 2.6.7 kernel, then initrd-tools version 0.1.67 were installed on my system and initrd was generated corectly, this kernel starts without problems. It seems bugs 290474 and 271038 are related - in both cases kernel doesn't start with message "cannot open dev/console: No such file" I can send initrd, generated when I install kernel-image 2.6.8 and 2.6.10, which doesn't start. -- Labanaktis/Good luck, Mantas KriauÄiÅnas Jabber ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG ID: 43535BD5 Public organization "Open Source for Lithuania" - www.akl.lt
