installation failed
I used the latest netboot image:
http://d-i.debian.org/daily-images/powerpc/daily/powerpc/netboot/mini.iso
I tried to install a base system. Installation went fine, yaboot
installed ok too. At reboot I am thrown into a busybox shell. The error
messages I get are:
Gave up waiting for a root device. Common problems:
- Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline)
- Check rootdelay= (did the system wait long enough?)
- Check root= (did the system wait for the right device?)
- Missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev)
ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/long-number does not exist. Dropping to a shell!
FATAL: Error inserting i8042
(/lib/modules/3.0.0-1-powerpc/kernel/drivers/input/serio/i8042.ko): No
such device
FATAL: Error inserting atkbd
(/lib/modules/3.0.0-1-powerpc/kernel/drivers/input/keyboard/atkbd.ko):
No such device
It has nothing to do with yaboot as I also installed on another computer
where I skipped yaboot installation (I had yaboot working fine). I get
the same errors on that machine. It seems it has something to do with
some kernel modules.
