Package: installation-reports INSTALL REPORT Debian-installer-version: RC2 (20041121) Date: 2005-01-14 Method: netinst CD Machine: hp proLiant DL380 Root Device: HP CISS (hardware RAID 5) /dev/cciss/c0d0p1 (94M) bootable /boot /dev/cciss/c0d0p2 (199G) / /dev/cciss/c0d0p3 swap Base System Installation Checklist: [O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it Initial boot worked: [O] Configure network HW: [O] Config network: [O] Detect CD: [O] Load installer modules: [O] Detect hard drives: [O] Partition hard drives: [O] Create file systems: [O] Mount partitions: [O] Install base system: [O] Install boot loader: [E] Reboot: [E] Comments/Problems: The device naming used in the grub config does not match the names available at boot time. Specifically /dev/cciss/c0d0p* devices were not available until after booting, the /dev/cciss/host0/... naming is used instead. Boot argument "linux26". There are no problems booting the CD and setting up the base system, and no error messages at grub installation. Reboot fails when it attempts to switch from /boot to root /dev/cciss/host0/target0: p1 p2 p3 pivot_root: No such file or directory /sbin/init: 4??: cannot open dev/console: No such file Kernel panic: Attempted to kill init! I rebooted the install CD, got as far as the partition menu, dropped into a console on F2. mount /dev/cciss/host0/target0/part0 /target nano /target/grub/menu.list Located the lines that read kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.8-1-386 root=/dev/cciss/c0d0p2 and replaced with kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.8-1-386 root=/dev/cciss/host0/target0/part2 unmounted, rebooted. This works around the problem.
