Looks like it can't find the initrd image.
How many HDDs have you in your system?
3 : sda, sdb (etch) and sdc (lenny)
Can you boot into Etch or does it fail too?
The boot of etch is OK (lilo).
What filesystem do you use for lenny?
ext3 :
1. it's visible on /etc/fstab , and
2. On etch, I mounted /dev/sdc1 (='/' lenny) on :
debian:~# stat -f /mnt/wd01/
File: "/mnt/wd01/"
ID: 0 Namelen: 255 Type: ext2/ext3
Block size: 4096 Fundamental block size: 4096

Inodes: Total: 8978432 Free: 8879709
loader=chain-loader
I tried, see below (lenny lilo.conf ; no results...)
Do you use lilo also for etch? If so, can you send your lilo.conf from the etch
installation.
etch lilo.conf :
boot=/dev/sdb
map=/boot/map
prompt
delay=100
timeout=100
default=Debian40
image=/vmlinuz
root=/dev/sdb2
label=Debian40
read-only
# restricted
initrd=/initrd.img
other=/dev/sdc
label=Debian50
Looks fine.
In your lilo.conf I would remove any options with "*bmp* and the "install"
option.
Yes, and result : the boot problem subsists.
Had you a chance to disconnect drive sda & sdb as I would keep it as simple as
possible. Hence remove also any options with bmp and the install option in your
lilo configuration.
I did, and the problem subsists too (1 drive only and no bmp or install
options).
When you tested with the Lenny HDD, did you change your lilo.conf before? So
all /dev/sdc devices pointed to /dev/sda?
How I did :
1. I started my computer with the first lenny CD ;
graphical rescue mode.
2. I mount /dev/sda1 for '/'
3. I went to shell (, got the mount and df results), and
I changed my lilo.conf :
lenny lilo.conf (only 1 disk) :
lba32
boot=/dev/sda
root=/dev/sda1
prompt
timeout=50
map=/boot/map
loader=chain-loader
vga=normal
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-2-amd64
label="lenny_1D"
initrd=/boot/initrd.img-2.6.26-2-amd64
read-only
The result was the same when I started with "lenny_1D" : kernel panic.
The lilo.conf looks ok. Did you run the lilo command after you made the changes
to the lilo.conf?
All entries pointing to /dev/sdc need to be changed to /dev/sda in the
/etc/fstab too.
To be sure can you provide the output of:
ls -la /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-2-amd64
ls -la /boot/initrd.img-2.6.26-2-amd64
And a strange thing :
- The rescue mode invited me to mount /dev/sda1 on '/' , normal, but...
- df prints /dev/sdc1/ (and not sda1) as '/' ??
- Changing /etc/fstab or SATA connectors on my drive didn't change anything.
Can you please send the output of mount and df when you use one disk only.
Here you have them :
df:
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sdc1 141302832 3157216 130967776 3% /
tmpfs 141302832 3157216 130967776 3% /lib/init/rw
udev 514680 660 514020 1% /dev
tmpfs 514680 660 514020 1% /dev/shm
devpts 514680 660 514020 1% /dev/pts
mount:
dev/sdc1 on / type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro)
tmpfs on /lib/init/rw type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,mode=0755)
proc on /proc type proc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
procbususb on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw)
udev on /dev type tmpfs (rw,mode=0755)
tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,noexec,nosuid,gid=5,mode=620)
Don't see any unusual there, apart from the point that you mount /dev/sda1 as
"/" and it is not listed.
Can you please send also the output of: fdisk -l
On what HDD/partiton did you install lilo?
On sdc. I tried sda, but the problem subsist.
Do you boot directly into Lilo or do you use another bootloader that starts
Lilo?
Lilo starts first.
Another thing I saw :
On boot, an error/warning occurs :
[ [0.260762 PCI ] cannot alocate ressource region 0 for device
0000:00:00:0
I am not sure for the quite text (it goes fast, but :
- The first number is correct,
- 'region' is '0' and
- 'device' is "a lot of" 0.
