Bug#6106: Q: Kernel Panic at setup
hi !
i am trying to install debian 1.2 on my 386/33 hooked up
to the net via token ring [ibm]
on booting up from the resq1440.bin disk, it goes thru the
checks and what not, but freezes with a "kernel panic"
the last few lines of the output are:
crc error [MS-DOS FS Rel. 12, FAT 0, check=n, conv=b, uid=0, gid=0,
umask=022, bmap]
[me=0x0, cs=0, #f=0, fs=0, fl=0, ds=0, dc=0, data=0, se=0, ts=0, ls=0]
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 01:00
Transaction block size=512
and then it hangs. i've tried using 2 different boot disk, and get exactly
the same problem. it does recognise my 2 physical hard drives correctly,
including the fact that drive 1 is partitioned into 2 and drive 2 has
no partitions.
i should mention that i tried to load freebsd-2.1.5-release on the pc
before this [ok ok ok...probably shouldn't have....but hey..live and learn]
and it booted ok, and re-partitioned the drive into 2, leaving 1
part for dos and the second for freebsd, and also rewrote the boot sector
with the boot managaer so that when i boot the pc, i get the choice of loading
dos or bsd [which is not there].
i have reformatted the drive so the original partition is not there but
the boot sector remains.
i aborted installing freebsd when i realised it had no token ring
support. i checked this point before starting on debian, so i did leanr
one thing :)
???
thanx in advance for help

ps did check the bug report logs .. only thing there was an
scsi kernel panic due to kernel problems from one of the earlier debian
releases
