Bug#225370: step forward
You are right: with devfs=mount,dall the init process goes further and
the system stops since it cannot mount the CDROM.
So I select to load the module manually, but the module list is empty.
If I select /dev/cdrom, /dev/scd0, /dev/sr0, /dev/hdc then it does not
work.
I have an italian keyboard. The suggested keyboard is mac-usb-it but it
is a wrong mapping (number needs the shift keys, as in apple desktop
keyboard, 'q' and 'a' ar swapped, 'm' appears when pressing 'ò', ...).
I cannot switch to the second console, since ALT+f2 does nothing and the
same happens for ALT+Fn+F2.
so, actually it stops asking 'manually configuring the CDROM?'.
Selecting 'yes' will not find it, selecting 'no' it present the same
question.
Magically, pressing alt+f4, the main menu appears and I selected
'execute a shell', so I found that with devfs I should use
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0. Selecting it in the 'manually configure cdrom'
doesn't work.
Back to the shell: lsmod gives an empty module list.
I cannot find the '|' key, but 'nano /var/log/syslog' shows that hda and
hdc where found, devfs was run. The hw-detect says:
Detecting hardware...
Loading modules...
Detected module '[Unknown]' for 'Unknown MATSHITACD-RW CW-8121'
Detected modules 'sungem' for 'Apple Computer Inc. Uninorth GMAC'
Trying to load module 'sungem'
Could not load driver 'sungem' for 'Apple Computer Inc. Uninorth GMAC'
Detected module 'ide-scsi' for 'Linux IDE-SCSI emulation layer'
Trying to load module 'ide-scsi'
Detected module 'usb-storage' for 'USB storage'
Trying to load module 'usb-storage'
then it keeps going: floppy, ide-detect, ide-floppy, ide-disk, ide-cd,
isofs.
then is says: 'Missing modules 'sungem, usb-storage'
then main-menu says ls /lib/modules/*/kernel/drivers/cdrom/
: No such file or directory
mounting /dev/ on /cdrom failed: No such device.
