Hello Again,
Still trying to get the SoaS going on the MacBook. This time I went
back to trying the Stick and helper CD. I booted to the CD first,
then inserted the usb stick. It went through the loading of Fedora
all right (like before), then when I chose "boot" from the menu, it
went into a terminal mode and gave me this message:
------------------------------------------------------
WARNING: Cannot fine root file system!
------------------------------------------------------
Create symlink /dev/root and then exit this shell to continue the
boot sequence
bash: no job control in this shell
bash-4.o#
I think if I knew a little Python I could solve this. It seems to
want me to tell it to go boot the SoaS from the USB stick, but I
don't know how to do it. Can someone tell me how and what to do to
go on from here? How do I "exit this shell"? How do I "Create
symlink/dev/root"?
I tried this today.
On my MacBook Pro the CD did not boot. It's detected as a blank, even
though I burned it on the very same machine.
On a MacMini the same CD booted fine. It loaded the kernel and initrd
from USB, then I got the exact same error message Caryl got.
I made the Stick in Fedora 10 using these instructions:
http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_on_a_Stick/Linux
These instructions did not mention renaming the stick. Is it perhaps
still needed? I remember having seen someone mention the stick had to
have a specific name.
How does it try to find the root file system?
