Hello,


 LABEL Sarge
KERNEL vmlinuz.sarge.i386
APPEND load initrd=netboot-initrd.sarge.i386.gz devfs=nomount \
   ramdisk_size=8192 root=/dev/ram0 console=tty0 video=aty128fb
  


Try devfs=/dev,dall 
That should help.

Erich

I have this line from
   http://lists.debian.org/debian-testing/2003/debian-testing-200311/msg00098.html

it have to include devfs=mount

This got me through boot.

My next problem was the resolv.conf was empty. No DNS server although
my DHCP server provides it. I fixed that manually.

Next it was whinning about not being able to find a CD-ROM, and it
would not take no for an answer 8^). I got over that too.

Now it is intalling.

Thank you,
florin

That's a known problem with the version of the installer you used, it
will be fixed by the next version.

Yeah, that sucks. I'm familiar with the problem from floppy booted CD
installs

2003-12-30 failure report

2004-01-01 Thread Florin Iucha 
I cannot start debian installer over the network using the 2003-12-30
images.

My pxeconfig for this is:
   LABEL Sarge
  KERNEL vmlinuz.sarge.i386
  APPEND load initrd=netboot-initrd.sarge.i386.gz devfs=nomount ramdisk_size=8192 
root=/dev/ram0 console=tty0 video=aty128fb

I have added sarge.i386 to the names to distinguish them from other
files, but they are copied straight from
   http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/unstable/main/installer-i386/20031230/images/

The kernel boots, but then stops with 
   Warning: unable to open an initial console
   Kernel panic: Attempted to kill init.
and the caps lock and scroll lock are flashing.

I have tried with and without console=, video=, root= and devfs options.

I have got woody installed on the machine. BTW the computer is a
Compaq Deskpro EN Small Form Factor.
