Are you booting a kernel image, or the tftpboot image?
Ok I am back and ready to go further to complete this installation. I did
the following tests using the tftpboot image for woody and the last one
released on your site and booting with -p (otherwise there is not output
on the console).
With the woody image after the root is mounted i get:
Warning: unable to open an initial console.
In this case for me it is a fatal error since there is only the console
available.
Using the other image (dated 3 dic 2003) I get the following:
Freeing initrd memory: 1229k freed
read_super_block: can't find a reiserfs filesystem on (dev 01:00, block 64,
size 1024)
read_super_block: can't find a reiserfs filesystem on (dev 01:00, block 8, size
1024)
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 01:00
Press L1-A to return to the boot prom
I did also try to start the system with a nfs root but with 2.4.21 it goes
in timeout errors trying to mount it (as far as i remember there were some
nfs root related problems in some recent kernels). With the woody i cannot
really check for the missing console (unfortunatly the nfsroot is only
partially debootstrapped on a i386 box.. so no way to configure everything
in order to attempt an access via ssh or telnet).
Thanks
Fabio
