Today is spend some time reproducing the errors i discovered last night. On an old P3 500 Compaq machine i performed an installation of Sarge first. The installation was awsome. No problems found. After that i formated the partitions and tried to perform an install of Woody. All worked out partioning, base-install .... no problems found. When i received the message "Installing the kernel" i switched to tty3 to see what kernel there was going to be installed, .... it was the k7 kernel. Grub installed fine. After the reboot received the same message as i received last night, ... unable to read root partition. So the same trouble in "Debian paradise". I booted from cd and tried to install Sarge again, but no way. Same errors as last night. I had to do the same routine as on the dual p3 box. Format the mbr, remove the partitions manually etc. etc. IMHO there must be something wrong with the kernel selection of the Woody install. Sarge install runs fine on all the machines i've testes on. But when i try to install Woody the shit hits the fan. -- Michel van der Klei
