- mini and netboot just boot from CD and do everything over the net.

There isn't a good reason for those names.

The netinstall iso is old (kernel 2.6.8) and known to work. The
netboot isos are known to panic, hopefully fixed tonight.

Mee too.


I tried today with no success.
My mainboard is a MSI K8T Neo (VIA chipset), all disks on the system are PATA. 
I have previously used debian-amd64 on this box, so it should work.
I can't be bothered now, but I will try earlier ISOs tomorrow.

have fun,
 Luca

Kernel panic with latest iso's

2005-02-04 Thread Morten Bo Johansen
Hi,

With both of the latest iso's of

  sid-amd64-monolithic.iso
  sid-amd64-netboot.iso
  
  (both time stamped 04-Feb-2005)
  
I am getting a kernel panic when trying to boot them:

  Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on
  unknown-block (0,0)
  
End of game.

I still have not been able to complete an installation; in addition to
the above, I cannot get any of the previous images to detect my sata disk
(sata-nv).



Morten
