Re: 64 bit downloading and kernel upgrade problem

["Arvind Marathe" <arvind@mbu.iisc.ernet.in>]

The error message is:
.......................................................................
Attached scsi disk sda at scsi0, channel 0, id0, lun0
                         .
                         .
                         .
pivot_root: No such file or directory
/sbin/init: 432: cannot open dev/console: No such file
Kernel panic: Attempted to kill init!
.......................................................................

I do not have any scsi disks at all!

I will add the lines for test and unstable sources. But i think installing
th latest version will also run into same error.

Thanks and Regards,
Arvind
