RE: MDK 9.1 Boot problem on PPC 9600
We I try to boot with the MDK kernel it tells me that there is a problem with my /dev/hde8 and that can not repair it. When I reinstalled MDK I set the drives up with ext2.

You need to install kernel-benh, which will probably require booting at least once with the Mandrake kernel to have the necessary modules available. urpmi kernel-benh -- Stew Benedict -- MandrakeSoft

RE: MDK 9.1 Boot problem on PPC 9600
Thanks Stew, I have reinstall MDK with the benh kernel and now it boots fine. The only problem that have found with the install is that it can not find the modules for the benh kernel. There is no /lib/modules/2.4.20-benh-9mdk directory, only a /lib/modules/2.4.21-0.13mdk.

Yes the '/' is ext3, I checked it with the mac version of pdisk.

MDK 9.1 Boot problem on PPC 9600
Hello, I have installed MDK 9,1 on my PPC 9600. It has a scsi 4GB HD and scsi CD-ROM with PCI ATA-100 control which has a 20GB IDE HD attached. I have installed the root '/' on the scsi hd with a 3GB partition '/dev/sda7'. There is a 1GB partition for mac os 9. The 20GB ide hd has been setup for '/home' I have setup BootX with the following settings: Kernel: vmlinuz-2.4.21-0.13mdk ramdisk: initrd-2.4.21-0.13mdk.img arguments: root=/dev/sda7 devfs=mount When MKD boots, the scsi drives are found with the mesh driver. However the Kernel ends in a panic. Here is the output: Mounting /proc filesystem Creating root device Mounting root filesystem with flags noatime mount: error 6 mounting ext3 flags noatime well, Retrying without the option flags mount: error 6 mounting ext3 well, Retrying read-only without the option flags mount: error 6 mounting ext3 pivotroot: pivot_root(/sysroot,/sysroot/initrd) failed: 2 Remounting devfs at correct place if necessary Mounted devfs on /dev Freeing unused kernel memory: 160k init 4k chrp 8k prep Kernel panic: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel. <0>Rebooting in 180 seconds.. Regards, Ben Martin
