debian-installer latest netinst image failed to boot up on Ultra10
Hi,
I tried to install sarge with debian-installer beta 3 netinst.iso and
2004-04-02 daily unstable snapshot netinst.iso, but kernel was failed
to boot up with the failure of root filesystem mount.
Ultra10 setting is:
- default IDE disk (/dev/hda), cdrom (/dev/hdc)
- monitor and default keyboard is connected. No serial console.
Tried image is:
- debian-installer beta 3:
http://gluck.debian.org/cdimage/testing/sarge_d-i/sparc/beta3/sarge-sparc-netinst.iso
- 2004-04-02 unstable daily snapshot netinsta image:
http://gluck.debian.org/cdimage/testing/daily/sparc/20040402/sarge-sparc-netinsta.iso
How to install:
- I downloaded above both images, then wrote to CD-R. Booted up
with "boot cdrom". Then SILO asked "boot:" default message.
I hit only return key. Kernel started to boot up.
Failed problem:
- kernel couldn't understand root filesystem then VFS mount got panic.
- monitor output said:
...kernel boot message...
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 00:00
Press L1-A to return to the boot prom
sunmouse: Successfully adjusted to 1200 baud.
Struggled:
- I inputed the below and so on, in SILO prompt:
boot: linux root=/dev/hdc mount=devfs
But VFS couldn't mount root filesystem as same as the above
mentioned with the same message.
I tried to install with woody sparc debian boot image, and it was
completely succeeded. I think this is the current installer problem.
I'm newbie for installing sparc linux, so I missed something to do.
If you have suggestion about this problem, please tell me how to fix it.
I didn't send this mail to debian-boot@lists.debian.org, but if you
think it's needed to send, please feel free Cc:.
