Hello! I posted a message yesterday asking for advice on installing Woody in a Toshiba Portégé 3010CT. I was getting "Kernel panic: VFS Unable to mount root fs on 01:00". I solved it and I am posting the solution for future reference.
Well... It was actually a mistake I made myself. I was trying to boot with LOADLIN.EXE without stripping HIMEM.SYS off the RAM. All I needed to do was to boot (argh!) Windows with no drivers at all. After I did this, everything went on fine, except that, for some unknown reason, the boot-floppies weren't able to configure my network (I use a PCMCIA PCIC compatible slot with i82365 driver and a 3Com EtherLink III 589 card with 3c589_cs driver). I just opened another console, configured it with ifconfig and route and that's it. I had no problems with the instalation through the network. Thanks, Pablo P.S.: Just for reference, from Debian 3.0 CD I copied these files from dists/woody/main/disks-i386/current/ to the Windows partition: dosutils/loadlin.exe images-1.44/rescue.bin images-1.44/root.bin drivers.tgz install.bat linux.bin -- Pablo Lorenzzoni (Spectra) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> GnuPG Key ID 268A084D at search.keyserver.net Webpage: http://people.debian.org/~spectra/
