Hi, I have a Dell X300 and I want to dual boot between Sarge and Etch. I have two drives, /dev/hda that holds Etch (/dev/hda1) and /dev/sda that holds Sarge (/dev/sda1). Both drives have swap space and grub and fstab have the correct entries. Grub is installed on the MBR of /dev/hda and the menu.lst resides in /boot/grub/.
Etch boots fine but Sarge terminates with: pivot_root: No such file or directory /sbin/init: 432:cannot open dev/console: No such file Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! /dev/hda is the regular drive of the laptop while /dev/sda is a drive mounted in the cdrom bay. Once etch is booted, I can mount /dev/sda1 and read/write to it. Not sure what is going on. Thanks in advance, Daniel Devost menu.lst: title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.4.27-2-386 root (hd1,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.27-2-386 root=/dev/sda1 ro initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.4.27-2-386 savedefault boot title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.4.27-2-386 (recovery mode) root (hd1,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.27-2-386 root=/dev/sda1 ro single initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.4.27-2-386 savedefault boot ### END DEBIAN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST # This is a divider, added to separate the menu items below from the Debian # ones. title Other operating systems: root # This entry automatically added by the Debian installer for an existing # linux installation on /dev/hda1. title Debian GNU/Linux (testing/unstable) (on /dev/hda1) root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-1-486 root=/dev/hda1 initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.15-1-486 savedefault boot # This entry automatically added by the Debian installer for an existing # linux installation on /dev/hda1. title Debian GNU/Linux 2.6.16-2-486 (on /dev/hda1) root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.16-2-486 root=/dev/hda1 initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.16-2-486 savedefault boot # This entry automatically added by the Debian installer for an existing # linux installation on /dev/hda1. title Debian GNU/Linux (testing/unstable) (on /dev/hda1) root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.16-2-686 root=/dev/hda1 initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.16-2-686 savedefault boot # This entry automatically added by the Debian installer for an existing # linux installation on /dev/hda1. title Ok Debian GNU/Linux (testing/unstable) (on /dev/hda1) root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.17-2-486 root=/dev/hda1 initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.17-2-486 savedefault boot -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
