I also get this with loadlin although I am using a custom image, and both of us have different hardware and root fs. Strangely enough, lilo boots the same settings fine. I have reported about it on http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2003/debian-user-200308/msg04106.html. I wonder if you have a chance to try booting with lilo? I suspect it is a kernel or, less probable, an initrd-tools, problem. > Here's my grub entry: > > root (hd0,1) > kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.0-tes2-1-386 root=/dev/hda2 > ro > initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.0-tes2-1-386 > > savedefault > boot > > Finally, here's my /etc/fstab: > > /dev/hda2 / ext3 defaults 0 1 > /dev/hda1 /home ext3 data=writeback 0 2 > /dev/hda3 none swap sw 0 0 > proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 > sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 > /dev/cdrom /cdrom iso9660 ro,user,noauto 0 0 > /dev/cdrom1 /cdrom1 iso9660 ro,user,noauto 0 0 > > I tried to boot the system with both the sysfs line > left in and out of fstab and as far as I could tell, > it made no difference.
