Bug#61280: i386 bootdisks fail with 8 MB of memory
Package: base
Version: N/A;
Severity: critical
I can't use bootdisks-i386 2.2.8-2000-03-09 with 8 MB of memory.
The rescue disk boots OK, but after unpacking the root disk the
boot process stops with following error message:
----------------
VFS: Insert root floppy disk to be loaded into RAM disk and press ENTER
RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0
VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly.
Freeing unused kernel memory: 140k freed
modprobe: modprobe: Can't open dependencies file /lib/modules/2.2.14/modules.de
(No such file or directory)
modprobe: modprobe: Can't open dependencies file /lib/modules/2.2.14/modules.de
(No such file or directory)
init started: BusyBox v0.43 (20000309-0030) multi-call binary
Sorry, your computer does not have enough memory.
-----------------
The low-memory rescue disk doesn't even boot in 486SX because it
depends on co-processor. El cheepo machines with extremely low memory
rarely have one. I'd suggest you should configure the low-memory kernel
to support also machines with no co-processor.
-- System Information
Debian Release: 2.2
Architecture: i386
Kernel: kernel-image-2.2.14_2.2.14-1 (from the rescue disk)
