I tried the new 4.4.0-r7 kernel. Sadly, it failed to boot. Jpg of screen
attached. It’s a little blurry. Incase you have trouble reading it, the last
few lines of text say:
rtc-generic rtc-generic: setting system clock to 2016-01-03 …
List of all partitions:
No filesystem could mount root, tried:
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)
CPU: 1 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 4.4.0-rc7-powerpc64 #1
Call Trace:
…
Rebooting in 180 seconds..
In preparation, I did
dpkg -i linux-headers-4.4.0-rc5-powerpc64_1_powerpc.deb
dpkg -i linux-headers-4.3.0-powerpc64_1_powerpc.deb
update-initramfs -u
ybin -v
I already had made an entry in /etc/yaboot.conf that loads the appropriate
kernel and initramfs
The root filesystem is on an LVM2 partition on a RAID1 array
