Actual Results: ends in a kernel panic Expected Results: boot into OS Additional info: i have tried loading it as a fresh install and as an upgrade to 7.1 and both produce the Exact same errors and kernel panic. the install goes great.. here are the errors i get.. Mounting root filesystem hda1: Bad Access: block=2, count=2 end request: i/o error, dev 03:01 (hda) sector 2 EXT2-FS: unable to read superblock mount: error 22 mounting ext2 pivotroot: pivot_root(sysroot,/sysroot.initrd)failed 2 freeing unused kernel memory: 232k freed Kernel Panic: no init found. try passing init= option to kernel and there is where it sits...here is a description of the pc.. Asus CUSL2 MB intel 933 mhz 256mb ram adaptec 2940 scsi intel pro100 nic tnt2 pci vid card 40x cdrom Maxtor 80GB hd ide zip the HD is the only new factor on this PC, i have had RH 7.1 loaded on this pc before with a different HD and with this new one.. without a problem..
Does this motherboard have a promise raid card and do you have a disk attached to that ?
NO.. no promise raid controller.. i have been contemplating using a ultra 100 card... but as of yet.. the configuration is only what i posted.. im using the on-board IDE controllers..
OK.. i got it loaded by putting in an old 6gb harddrive i had.. RH7.1 loads fine on the 80GB..but i guess for some reason roswell does not like something about the 80GB ide....
NOW.. here is another problem.... i tried installing roswell in one of my home pc's that has been running RH 7.1 with out a problem.. guess what i got..the exact kernel panic messages i got on my work test PC.. this one also has no promise raid controller.. here is the pc configuration Asus P4 MB intel 1.4 ghz intel pro 100 sound blaster live sb 384mb ram IBM 45GB harddrive hercules Geforce 2 GTS 32mb vid card. plextor cdr is there a limitation to how big the / partition should be...?? i made the partition the same size i had with 7.1.. since i have larger drives i usually run large partitions...here is what i had.. / = 5gb /usr = 8gb /var = 8gb swap = 1gb /home = 23gb
Is there any way you can install the 2.4.7-2.18 kernel from http://people.redhat.com/arjanv/testkernels/i686 (eg rescue mode) and see if that works ?
ok.. let me give it a shot.. i downloaded the 2.4.7-2.19 since that is the one there.. im finishing up a fresh install of roswell on the 80gb drive and will give the new kernel a shot.
cool.. got the home pc running with roswell and kernel 2.4.7-2.19 .... i will try this on the work test pc next... thanks for you help
