Hi again, my hardware : Desktop computer MEDION AKOYA E5310D (MD8394) with AMD Phenom X3 Triple-core cpu, 3G RAM, 640G SATA2 hd (WD6400AACS), MS-7501 MEDIONPC baseboard (MSI ??).
so after the reboot I had the same loading procedure: Also, how are you able to do an ls on /dev? How are you >> booting this machine to see this? > > When the machine boots, it first loads GRUB. > 64Studio is the default kernel in the list because it's the last distro I > installed. > When I choose 64studio to boot, I first get the error warning: > PCI: BIOS Bug : MCFG area at e0000000 is not E820-reserved > PCI: Not using MMCONFIG > Loading please wait.... > _ (blinking underscore for a while) > > Then I get the same as Dave reported: > Check root= bootargs cat /proc/cmdline or missing modules, devices: cat > /proc/modules ls /dev. > (initramfs) > > here I do ls /dev > > I would also be interested in the output of the following: >> >> for each in `ls /dev/*` ; do parted $each print ; done >> >> You may need root privileges for that command. > > OK, I will try that now, but I don't think root privileges will be needed > because there's no user logged in yet, it's "busybox", (initramfs), what's > the correct name for that "application" ? > The output Gustin asked for: (initramfs) for each in `ls /dev/*` ; do parted $each print ; done /bin/sh: parted not found (initramfs) sudo for each in `ls /dev/*` ; do parted $each print ; done /bin/sh: sudo not found /bin/sh: parted not found The sd* devices that show up are already showing up before GRUB even starts, right after the memory calculation, when the USB devices are initialized so I don't think they're relevant to this problem with the SATA controller. PCI: BIOS Bug : MCFG area at e0000000 is not E820-reserved PCI: Not using MMCONFIG These errors may be relevant imho, because i don't get them when I boot Ubuntu 8.10 or Ubuntu 8.04. BTW, thanks for the bash example :-) ;-) Peter
