Subject: Boot gives me 'the boot'
Hello there,
I am trying to install Debian Linux (the abreviated version off of BOOTDisc)
onto a 386 with 4 mb ram and 50 mb hard. I have it working fine on my
586 but am trying to get it on the smaller machine for amateur radio
purposes.
The problem I am having is that the booting process off of floppy to
even get the darn thing started crashes. It will go through and start
the various things and starts going through the different filesystems
AFIF, VFAT, FAT, ext2, etc... and it will give me error messages
varying from 'attempt to access beyond end of device' to 'FAT bread failed'.
The last straw before it crashes however is the following..
isofs_read_super: bread failed, dev 03:04 iso_blknum 16 block 32
Kernal panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 03:04
And that's when it dies a quiet death. I have tried recompiling the
kernel taking different things out and adding different things back in.
I have tried the rescue disk and get the same error messages. I have
tried booting without ramdisk incase it needs more memory but it
still gives me the same thing. I have already formatted the hd that it
will go on with partition magic and it should read 2 partitions
that are unformatted.
Help!
