Wrong scsi naming in lilo.conf and fstab (i386, scsi hd, floppy+usb install)
Hello,
i have tested boot floppy, with usb key with netinst 100M on a tulip
with scsi hd. bootfloppy, hd-image and netinst.iso from 29 jan 2004
snapshot.
1) modprobe sr_mod failed (no module of that name). No cdrom.
2) The installation goes well from usb stick, untill the reboot. HD not
bootable. I guess this is a known grub problem.
Solution: boot in expert mode and choose lilo instead of grub.
May i suggest you propose lilo in non expert mode in case of scsi hd?
The 3) and 4) have the same origin. sdb instead of sda in lilo.conf and
fstab. because at install time sda was usb stick, and at reboot time
it's the hd.
3) Reboot failed "attempted" to kill init.
Boot with Linux root=/dev/sda3
4) fsck failed at boot sequence.
Mount at hand /usr, edit fstab with nano and replace sdb by sda.
To correct the 3) edit lilo.conf and replace sdb by sda. mount /boot too
and rerun lilo.
Reboot. Success.
Regards,
