I have been trying to use Etch now for a few weeks I had it installed and was working and then one day i update and it hangs at the Begin: waiting for root file system. So i have waited and waited even downloaded a new ISO image tonight and tried that and install then do a update and bingo bango hanging at the same message again. WTF is going on.
Hey, I had this problem again and I remember how I fixed it before. I edited the file "/etc/kernel-img.conf" to add the line: ramdisk = /usr/sbin/mkinitrd.yaird And then regenerated the initrd image. dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-2.6.16-1-amd64-8-smp And I could boot. It seems this is an error while creating the initrd image. Regards. -- http://arhuaco.org/
