Hi guys,
I've got a stack of Classics at home, some of which actually work.
One is my main box right now and works fine, with RH 6.0 installed.
It's also got the latest 2.2.13 kernel installed.
Now I'm trying to boot another classic which only has a serial
console, no CDROM or Floppy. I've got the tftp.img setup in /tftpboot
on the main machine, and I can do either of:
boot net linux serial
boot net linux serial nfsroot=192.168.1.1:/mnt/cdrom/kernels/vmlinux32
but it never quite makes it up past the following point:
Linux version 2.2.5-14BOOT
.
.
.
RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0
VFS: mounted root (romfs filesystem)
Warning: unable to open an initial console
Switching to serical console., mke2fs 1.14, 9-Jan-199 for EXT2 FS 0.56, 95/08/09
Linux Ext2 filesystem format
Filesystem label=
80 inodes, 300 blocks
15 blocks (5.0%) reserved for super user.
First datablock=1
Block size=1024 (log=0)
Fragment size=1024 (log=0)
1 Block group
8192 blocks per group, 8192 fragments per group
80 inodes per group
Writing inode tables: done
Writing superblocks and filesystem accounting information: done
And here it hangs. I don't have a spare monitor I can use on the
booting system, though I do have spare keyboards and mice, so maybe I
need to just start hitting keys at this point.
I've looked at the RH site for updates, but the only ones are for
floppy boot images.
Any hints on where I'm going wrong here?
Thanks,
John
