It's the same for me on an iMac G5. Additional info: starting/during the installation I get error messages like this: "Attempt to read sectors 0-127 outside of partition on /dev/sda". Ignoring/cancelling the popup window the installation seems to continue normally. After finishing and rebooting I get the same kernel panic: Cannot open root device ... A very wild guess, but if it's anything like bug 205347, the initrd doesn't get installed properly. Please boot your system in rescue mode, and have a look at /root/install.log if there are any suspicious error messages. Your /etc/grub.conf might also be informative. If my wild guess is correct, see bug 206453 for even more information about the issue, and bug 206513 for a workaround. Yes, your wild guess is correct! There is no initrd in the /boot and no initrd line in yaboot.conf. We could boot that box up with a workaround from Bug#20651. Mark this bug as the duplicate of bug#206453. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 206453 *** |
