Install the debian under the VMWARE
I managed install the debian into the virtual disk. My partition table is /dev/sda1 (boot)4080(blocks) 83 /dev/sda21904640(blocks) 83 /dev/sda3 139264(blocks) 82 But my mount table is /dev/ram0 on / ext2 /proc on /proc proc /dev/sda2 on /target ext2 /dev/sda1 on /target/bootext2 I don't know why my sda1 should be mounted under /target. when I Make the system bootable,it prompts that LILO wasn't able to install.It seemed that the /boot is not mounted at the beginning of the disk.of course!sda1 has been mounted at /target!how should I do?mount it directly in the shell? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

I always use IDE disks within VMware, but that's more a personal opinion. Quick workaround: Reboot. Boot from the installation CDrom and on the command prompt type: boot: Linux root=/dev/sda1 After finishing the installation, run lilo manually. /etc/lilo should have lines like boot=/dev/sda root=/dev/sda1 Jan. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Quick workaround: Reboot. Boot from the installation CDrom and on the command prompt type: boot: Linux root=/dev/sda1 hah I did as you directed .It was going until it prompted unable to open an initial console.Kernel panic :No init found .Try passing init=option to kernel! many thanks first. But how can I pass the option to the init? I can't access my disk now. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Maybe the new Debian install kernel needs an initrd image, I don't know. To speed things up: In my eyes it would be much more efficient to try a new install with an virtual IDE disk. It doesn't mean that you have to give your first try away: Just create a new IDE disk in the Configuration Editor. Note that the size limit from previous versions of VMware (2GB) doesn't exist anymore. Don't forget to deselect the old SCSI disk. I am always running into trouble when trying to install Linux onto a virtual SCSI disk since the Buslogic Controler VMware is using is kind of exotic. Good luck. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Sorry, try /dev/sda2 or what ever your root partition is... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
