Package: installation-reports

Boot method - hd-media
Image version - /daily-images/amd64/daily/hd-media for 29 Dec, 2011
Date - December 29, 2011

Machine - HP dx5150 with AMD Athlon 64, 1024 MB memory

Partitions - Single 16GB space on memory stick.

Base System Installation Checklist - NA - Had a kernel panic before I go
that far. It looks like the root file system could not be mounted. 


I wanted to load the latest testing image onto one of my computers and
decided to use a memory stick. I bought a new 16 GB stick and
reformatted as per the debian instructions in the HOWTO
ie 
cfdisk - made one 16 GB partition and made it bootable
mkdosfs 
syslinux - this is the syslinux that was on my system used to create the
bootable memory stick

mounted memory stick 

loaded vmlinuz and initrd.gz
wrote syslinux.cfg as specified
load on the iso image - debian-testing-amd64-i386-netinst.iso

Memory stick booted okay but was unable to mount root file system, due
to a kernel panic, error report as below

panic+0x95/0x1a5
maint_block_root+0x24e/027a
name_to_dev_t+0x7c9/0xe99
prepare_namespace+0x133/0x169
kernel_init+0x138/0x13d
kernel_thread_helper+0x4/0x10
start_kernel+0x3c8/0x3c8
gs_change_0x13/0x13

Since this is the first time I have tried this, I may have overlooked
something and will continue checking my work and reading the available
documentation.
