Package: initrd-tools

After a fresh install using d-i sarge-powerpc_tc1 and bootX, I tried to
install the 2.6.7-3 kernel to replace 2.4.25.   I got the usual warning
about putting initrd.img line in the boot loader.  I checked that the
symlink was in /boot.  I rebooted into the Mac side and put the 2.6
initrd.gz and vmlinux files into the Linux Kernels folder in the System
Folder.  Appended "initrd=/boot/initrd.img" to BootX's kernel arguments,
rebooted into Linux and got the following error (I don't know how to
extract any log messages from the machine and so I copied it):

cannot open root device "hda6" or unknown block (0,0)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unkown block (0,0)

I get the same error without appending the initrd argument

Regards

Clive

The initrd-tools package has been removed from Debian testing, unstable and
experimental, so I am now closing the bugs that were still opened
against it.

For more information about this package's removal, read
http://bugs.debian.org/393092 . That bug might give the reasons why
this package was removed, and suggestions of possible replacements.

Don't hesitate to reply to this mail if you have any question.

Thank you for your contribution to Debian.
