Re: Network boot problems
I wonder if we can boot Linux net-install without ANY physical media.

Ok, it works now. Thank you.
By the way, I think I found a little bug or something. When using
graphical install and selecting packages to install I selected
nothing, ie. I
wanted very minimal installation. It then asked question about how
minimal installation I wanted. There were three choises, and I
selected
the second. Can't remember exactly but I think it is "recommended"
choice. Then it says " Undefined subroutine &install_any::set
DefaultPackages called" and installer falls back to the drive
partitioning
stage. I tried it twice and it failed. It works ok when I selected
something
to install.

Kernel panic after successfull install
Hello!
I have Oldworld 7200/90 with 32 mb memory. Text install won't work,
complains about missing kmap magic or something. Graphical install
won't work either, I have too little memory.
Today I managed to acquire more ram, I have now 72 mb. (16+16+8+
32). Text install doesn't work, but graphical installer runs fine.
After
succesfull installation I rebooted back to MacOs and tried boot to
Linux
using BootX. I set root dev /dev/sda6 (I am sure that this is correct)
and
booted... Unable to mount root file system /dev/sda6. Kernel Panic,
rebooting 180 seconds
What went wrong?

failed to read kmap magic, PowerMac 7200 this time
Hello! Thu, 21 Feb 2002 Miguel Beccari wrote about errors with his PowerMac 8500. I have identical problems with my old 7200 / 90 with 32 mb memory. I want to use it as a router and firewall, so only 32 mb is sufficient. 1. I booted with BootX, setting ramdisk 32000, using all.gz as ramdisk, choosing text install. 2. Not recognized my cdrom. Picking module by hand, works. 3. Choosed Expert install 4. Selecting language (tried virtually every language) 5. Stops with "failed to read kmap magic". Any ideas? Graphical install probably works, but I think I have too little memory. When I tried to Kernel 2.2 it stops with kernel Panic, rebooting 180 seconds... If it helps I can provide detailed information about it. -J. Karjanlahti
