Hola from Spain I have followed Ok the FAQ-O-Matic to install Debian on a ppc over a beta version of MkLinux that we had on a CD, until step 8 (the BootX into Debian itself). There I get stuck. Booting halts at "Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 08:17"
We have two SCSI drives Drive 1 (/dev/sda...) MacOS from which we run BootX Drive 2 /dev/sdb5 MkLinux root /dev/sdb6 MkLinux swap /dev/sdb7 Debian base 2_2 configured with dselect (Step 5, chroot into sdb7 was Ok, running dselect from there.) The /mnt/etc/fstab I set to /dev/sdb7 / ext2 rw 1 1 and removed everything else except the swap line that was in the MkLinux fstab file: /dev/sdb6 none swap defaults 0 0 What am I missing (apart from a bit more grey matter)? Thanks in advance for any help. Robert Chatwin Dept. de Ecologia Tel: +34 619126599 Univ. de Extremadura mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Badajoz, Spain 06071
