What does uname -a say? Is this a 32 or 64bit kernel?
You need at least a 64bit kernel (the userspace may be 32bit) to
create a 64bit nfsroot on this machine.
Hi Thomas,
thank you for your prompt responses. Since I really need lenny, and I
can't upgrade our current machine running fai-server, I decided to do
something different.
I first installed lenny/amd64 on a virtual machine, and copied the
setup from the main fai-server. Then, I changed dhcpd.conf to
advertise this VM as a fai-server. Further, I created another VM on my
laptop, to be the test-client. When I try to install lenny/amd64 on
this test-client using fai, kernel crashes during boot. Specifically,
it never installs, and during the boot process I get this message:
List of all partitions:
No filesystem could mount root, tried:
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown
block (0,255)
Can someone point me to the right direction? Where should I look to
solve this issue?
Thanks,
Nikola
