|
|
here is what i got when booting.
Code: | VFS: Mounted root (ext3 filesystem) readonly.
mount_devfs_fs(): unable to mount devfs, err: -2
Warning: unable to open initial console.
Kernel panic: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel.
Press L1-A to return to the boot prom |
Code: |
/dev/sda1 /ext2 boot
/dev/sda2 /ext3 swap
/dev/sda4 /ext3 user
/dev/sda5 /ext3 var
/dev/sda6 /ext3 root
|
is it boot having ext2 and others ext3 causing the problem?[/code] |

Post your silo.conf so we can have a look at it.
Shouldnt be a problem mixing ext2 and ext3 but I note that it is not recommended to have a separate /boot partition for sparc because it complicates the bootloader configuration.
Also what kernel are you running? |

Ok .... if you have a standard Ultra 5 then it has an ide disk not a scsi one so your partitions should be /dev/hda* rather than /dev/sda* .
I assume that you didnt post the full fdisk printout and that the 3rd partition is the sun disk label.
Also I think that in silo.conf the image tag should be /boot/vmlinux rather than just /vmlinux
With the setup you have described fstab will not need a separate entry for /boot since it is on the same partition as / and you cant mount a partition twice!!
The gentoo handbook sparc version is really good but it can be a bit confusing if you are not too familiar with the ide scsi thing.
If you need to do another install I suggest following the handbook fairly closely remembering to substitute /dev/hda for any instance of /dev/sda that you see. |
