Hi! I am trying out sarge and am not sure if this is the correct mail list. If not please direct me to the right one.
( I am a fresh, green debian user, was on Red Hat / Fedore before ) I DL'ed sarge CD images ( weekly from 20040925 ). Install went smooth, but on the first boot I got a GRUB Error 18. Then I switched in BIOS the IDE mode from RAID to normal ATA ( is only a single disk drive in any case ) and now I get the GRUB menu, but GRUB hangs after executing the "boot" command ( probably a known issue with EDD, see http://groups.google.com/groups?threadm=2aaZB-2Dj-35%40gated-at.bofh.it ). After downgrading my BIOS it finally booted the kernel, but the it hung with the following last printed : pivot_root: No such file or directory /sbin/init: 426: cannot open dev/console: No such file Kernel panic: Attempted to kill init! Any clues ? The disk is a Maxtor 160 GB, but the partitions were around 80 GB from start of disk. Any help appreciated ! sysinfo : Gigabyte GA-7VAXP Ultra mainboard, BIOS version F6 ( downgraded to F4 ) Athlon XP-2200+, 768 MB RAM Regards, xerces8 ( this is my "anonymous" mail account ) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
