mkinitrd cannot determine root device
Hi debian boot!
Using the 03/10/2004 iso image of the installer I
tried to use it.
If you just press enter on boot he cycles himself
through the steps nicely.
Problems started in "Partition disks". They are
already partitioned and I don't want more
partitioning. But that option he doesn't seem to like.
Then you have to select the next step manually. Went
to "Configure and Mount Partitions" and selected one
as root.
He then installed the base system and kernel but the
latter failed because mkinitrd could not determine the
root device.
I have submitted bug 224758 on this. I could not find
a solution in the new install doc.
Is there a way around this? Deleting the partition
that I try to install to?
Thanks.
Hugo.
