Re: mount failed: No such device
On Sun, 10 Mar 2002, Ben Reser wrote: Okay I got my laptop back from Apple on Friday. So I tried to install 8.2 again. Here's what I found out. I tried to do the following. Install using the 8.2b1 cd and choosing a ftp source (my local mirror). I got booted up and choose my airport (btw stew that support is awesome, saves me from dragging out a network cable). Stage2 loads fine. I setup my partition names and hit ok and it asks for format. Formats fine (I've verified this by mounting the paritions via 8.0 by hand). However when it tries to mount the partition it says An error occurred mount failed: No such device. I've tried various different file systems (ext2, ext3, reiserfs). I changed my randisk_size to 32000 and 6 (it actually wouldn't boot stage2 with 32000). I tried not formating the partition. I tried deleting some of them and redoing my partition table. No matter what I always get this. At this point in time I'm unable to get to a terminal to see exactly more details on this error. So I try just to boot and go off the 8.2b1 cd. It goes right past this and I get a package selection. So it's something that's been done in the installer since the beta 1 cd was made. Stew, whatever you need me to do to help you here let me know. Ben, Although not the goal you're trying to reach, can you try CD install? I'm not sure anymore of the state of the stage2 image from the mirrors. I know it doesn't reflect any recent changes I've done, although they haven't really been that extensive. I know we talked on IRC about the possibility that not enough device nodes are being created, but I did some testing here and it seemed that drakx creates the devices on the fly as needed, and in my tests I had over 20 partitions on a drive without issue. From the error message it sounds like that's what happening.

It was properly making them on the fly I checked that when we were on IRC. -- Ben Reser [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://ben.reser.org What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans, and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is wrought under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of liberty and democracy? - Ghandi

I'm sure it's usb-ohci because that's what I used in 8.0. usb-ohci has been built into the PPC kernel all along, but the initscripts have changed apparently. I could pull it out into a module, but then in the event of severe failure w/o initrd - you've got no keyboard =(. Aside from the initscript message, you should have usb functionality.

On some machines it never comes back. Can you send me both config files so I can see what broke? I thought I had rolled the changes you had made in 8.0 into the installer, but apparently not.

Re: boot after install?
to add more info to my last email, it seems that if there is the file finder and system, i am able to boot off the cd.. maybe only newer firmware looks for this? any info please reply mike From: Michael Marcucio [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: boot after install? Date: Mon, 11 Mar 2002 21:34:31 -0500 hello all.. i had a successful install. after everything installed it told me to set the boot-device variable to the new partition. so i set the variable(i have done this before so i'm sure it's right) and when it boot i got the question mark in the folder than it booted into macos. i also could never boot off the cd. i was wondering if anyone else had these issues. oh ya i almost forgot: powerbook 667 G4 1 month old am i destined to never get linux on my powerbook?!!?!? mike _ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx _ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp.
