Thanks, the "minimal install" is fairly new, and I may be missing a
portion of the relevant code from x86.  I'll check it out.

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.

Didn't setup kernel/initrd in BootX to boot the system?
(check the BootX folder on the CD)

Kernel panic after successfull install

2002-03-08 Thread Janne Karjanlahti

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?
