Yeah, I installed my system about a week ago using
the mini.iso off the netinst directory and it worked like a charm. MSI K8N
Neo2 Platinum installing on 2 SATA drives in a mirrored array. I just
wanted to set it up and decide if the AMD64 port works well enough to
use as a HTPC. I've decided that it's more stable that I expected and that
there are more 64bit packages than I know what to do with.
So I wanted to wipe it clean and
redistribute my array to account for some swap space and make it more
redundant. I tried to use the CD that I used before and when it
got to the "downloading stuff" portion of the install it complained that
there weren't and kernel images matching the one I was using.
Something about "it probably won't work if you continue without kernel
sources". Since I didn't want it not to work, I figured better get
the latest image.
I went and downloaded mini.iso dated from
TODAY, Feb-6th and burned it to a CD (I've learned to start using RW discs
instead of coastering a 4.4MB CDR, only did it once - thank you) and tried
to boot off of it. Same thing as you, I get the kernel panic: can't mount
root fs. I was worried that the installer didn't know what to do
with my raid array so I tried unplugging the drives so that they aren't even
there to see and it still panic-ed. Must be an issue with the
installer.
We'll just have to wait to install it till they fix
the panic, it's worth the wait. I just wish I knew who needs to know so I
could tell them!
