Comments/Problems:
D-I failed to install the kernel, i got the following error:
/usr/sbin/mkinitrd: constituent device /dev/ida/disc0/part1 does not
exist
Failed to create initrd image.
dpkg: error processing kernel-image-2.4.25-1-386 (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
kernel-image-2.4.25-1-386
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
I guess a bug in devfs or mkinird caused the problem. RH installation
worked fine.
Keep up de good work!
Kind regards,
Jop Bezuijen
