Comments/Problems:
beta2 (and the sarge installer) work well, but neither the dailies nor beta3
boots. Screenshots attached. (Both are after selecting install, expert or
rescue.) The dailys fail with:
RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0
RAMDISK: ran out of compressed data
Invalid compressed format (err=1)
No filesystem could mount root, tried: cramfs
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount roos fs on unknown-block(1,0)
I'm not making this serious atm, as I have seen beta3 booting successfully on
a g4 powerbook...
BTW, booting fails slightly different, after uprading a sarge system to etch,
no matter if I use a 2.6.17 (from etch) or .18 kernel (from sid). Screenshot
also attached.
regards,
Holger
