This is an installation report about an low mem (32MB) installation
on an old Toshiba Satellite 320 laptop from the unofficial
"light"-cd.
I think this cd is a great idea.
And it works (mostly) well. I tested the syslinux menus, the
entries in the syslinux menus are working (well, the rescue entries
don't make sense in the lxde and xfce submenus, this was already
mentioned before).
I tried an lxde installation with standard priority:
installation went fine, no problems.
Starting into the new system stopped when it came to mounting the
root filesystem.
Message was
Waiting for root filesystem ...
Gave up waiting for root device. Common problems:
- Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline)
- Check rootdelay= (did the system wait long enough?)
- Check root= (did the system wait for the right device?)
- Missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev)
ALERT! /dev/hda1 does not exist. Dropping to a shell!
There are no ide related modules loaded. ide_core, ide_disk,
ide_generic are missing, this modules are needed on this machine I
think (checked with rescue mode).
This problem didn't exist with the rc1 netinst cd!
Logs attached.
