info:kernel 2.6.15 on sunblade 1000 "/dev/sda2 does not exist"
Hi,
/etc/silo.conf has /dev/sda2 as root.
I just did "apt-get install kernel-image-2.6".
But kernel 2.6.15 does not boot, claiming /dev/sda2 does not exist.
It gives me a /bin/sh prompt with very limited commands.
(Am i inside initrd here ?)
Kernel 2.6.12 boots without a problem.
(translation: i can live with it!)
Below the silo.conf, "fdisk -l" and "ls -al /boot".
cheers,
Paul
