Package: installation-reports


Boot method: CD
Image version: www.debian.org in October 2006

Date: 2:00 p.m. October 31, 2006


Machine: Toshiba Satellite
Processor: Intel Celeron 2.80 GHz

Memory: ???
Partitions: Can't run df.  I took the defaults the install program gave me: one for files plus

a swap partition

Can't run lspci

Comments/Problems:
I did an install from CD taking all the defaults.  When rebooting I get a Segmentation Fault followed by the error message

<6> Journalled Block device driver loaded
pivot_root: No such file or directory
/sbin/init: 432: cannot open dev/console: No such file
Kernel panic: Attempted to kill init!

I'm stuck.  Can't get Debian to work on this machine.  I did some Googling and determined that others have hit this error, but there appears to be no clear workaround.

We are closing this installation report for one of the following
reasons:
- it was reported with a pre-lenny version of Debian
  Installer.
- indications in the installation report give the feeling that
  the reported problem waslying in another software, unrelated to
  D-I, which we can't easily identify.
- indications in the installation report suggest that it may have been
  fixed in a more recent version of a D-I component
- it was successful and we forgot closing it..:-)
- it has no information we consider useful


The D-I team is currently in the process of cleaning out the old spool
of installation reports that haven't bene processed yet. 

In case you think that the problem you reported has chances to be
still present, please reiterate your installation test with
a more recent image of D-I, if you're in position of doing this.

You'll find daily builds at
http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer. We recommend you choose
the netboot image, in the "daily builds section", then choose to
install "squeeze" when prompted.

If some problems are found, please report them with a new bug sent
against installation-reports.

Many thanks for your understanding and your help improving Debian,
past and present.
