It seems to me there are two issues in that.
1) The pci irq mapping problem I have no infos more yet.
2) the "cannot open root device" problem for which it seems to exist a
workaround:
"load :console=ttyS0,9600 root=/dev/ram"
Despite of these 2 subsequent messages:
FATAL: module usbkbd not found
FATAL: module hid not found
the install goes on rather nicely, I stopped just before repartitionning the
scsi disk. (do not want to kill my running woody just now ! I am not sure of
consequences of pci problem).
Because of workaround 2, I can't do the job with my graphic card (Matrox)
unless I find something like console=vga.....
Friendly,
Felipe
