The Bering User Guide section 9.4 at: http://leaf.sf.net/devel/jnilo/bubooting.html#AEN1119 is probably a more appropriate reference for Bering. > I have been able to successfully mount a hard disk partition > once leaf has booted from floppy but I am having trouble getting > the boot from HDD going. > > I have turned on VERBOSE and DEBUG in /linuxrc > and put a couple more debug lines in it. > > My linuxrc.cfg (on hda1) has; > default linux initrd=initrd.lrp > init=/linuxrc root=/dev/ram0 boot=/dev/hda1:msdos > PKGPATH=/dev/fd0u1680 > LRP=root,etc,local,modules,iptables,ppp,pppoe,hdsupp_s,shorwall,dnscache,web >let > (all on one line) > > I also tried removing the PKGPATH part as suggested in the > "booting Bering from a M-Systems DiskOnChip" howto at; > http://cvs.sf.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/leaf/devel/bradfritz/bering_contrib/doc >/bud > iskonchip.xml?rev=1.2&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup Removing PKGPATH shouldn't be necessary. That was a kludge to work around issues with old versions of the DoC nftla drivers that only allow a DoC partition to be mounted once. The IDE drivers shouldn't complain about mounting one partition in two places simultaneously. > and tried with PKGPATH=/dev/hda1 > > > On boot with no floppy in the drive, > Just prior to the mount command > /dev contains; > brw-r----- 1 0 0 3, 1 Nov 28 14:27 /dev/hda1 > this looks OK to me. > > When it gets to the point of trying to mount the boot device > around line 184 of linuxrc using the command; > > mount -r -t msdos /dev/hda1 /var/lib/lrpkg/mnt > > mount gives the error message; > > mount: Mounting /dev/hda1 on /var/lib/lrpkg/mnt failed: Device not configured > > My searching has shown this message in relation to CDROMs - when > there is no CD in the drive. > > Not sure what to try next, any clues would be most appreciated. Sounds like the modules might not be loading. Do you have the lines: ide-mod ide-disk ide-probe-mod in /boot/etc/modules and the module files: ^^^^^ ide-mod.o ide-disk.o ide-probe-mod.o in /boot/lib/modules ? ^^^^^ If you have DEBUG and VERBOSE set (and possibly even without them set), you should see the insmods during boot and some information about the drive.
