Hello every I try to boot the system I get this error:
SILO Version 1.4.8
boot:
Allocated 8 Megs of memory at 0x40000000 for kernel
Cannot find /boot/kernel-2.4.28 (Unknown ext2 error)
Image not found.... try again
boot:
My fstab looks like this :
/dev/hda2 none swap sw 1 2
/dev/hda1 / ext2 noatime 1 2
/dev/hda4 /usr ext2 noatime 0 1
/dev/hda6 /home ext2 noatime 0 0
/dev/hda7 /boot ext2 defaults,noatime 1 2
/dev/hda5 /var ext2 noatime 1 2
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro
#/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto
none /proc proc defaults
none /dev/shm auto defaults
As you can see I have a pretty weird disk setup, could this be the cause?
Also my silo.conf looks like:
partition = 7
root = /dev/hda1
image = /boot/kernel-2.4.28
label = linux
I have also linked /etc/silo.conf and /boot/silo.conf as suggested in other threads.
Any help would be great, thanks. |

Your root should not be /dev/hda1 unless you are on a single partition system.. /boot should be on hda1 for all intensive purposes, and if I'm not wrong in this, it may be REQUIRED on Sparc that it be on /dev/hda1 (sda1 for SCSI)
hda1 = boot
hda2 = swap
hda3 = root system << basic reccommended setup
Also, I reccomend abandoning vanilla-sources, USE sparc-sources.. its much more suited to Sparc and that way you can also use genkernel, which will build the kernel for you. Even if you do not wish to use genkernel, you probably want to use sparc-sources anyway. |
