Posted: Thu Apr 14, 2005 9:00 am Post subject: ultra5 dont boot[solved] |
|
|
then i try to boot my new ultra5 it fails with vfs unable to open device hda4
i have copied the kernel und the initramdisk from the gentoo livecd 2005.0
the silo.conf is ok it loads the kernel and the ramdisk.
when i boot from cd with gentoo-2.4 root=/dev/hda4 all works fine
Code: | cat /boot/silo.conf
partition = 1 # Boot partition (= root partition)
root = /dev/hda4 # Root partition
timeout = 150 # Wait 15 seconds before booting the default section
image = /kernel-2.4.29
label = linux
#append="initrd=/kernel-2.4.29.igz"
append="initrd=/kernel-2.4.29.igz root = /dev/hda4 noudev devfs"
image="/gentoo-2.4"
label="gentoo-2.4"
append="initrd=/gentoo-2.4.igz root = /dev/hda4 noudev devfs"
|
Code: | cat /etc/fstab
/dev/hda1 /boot ext2 noauto,noatime 1 1
/dev/hda4 / ext2 noatime 0 0
/dev/hda2 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0

Your disk setup is the same as mine.
I could be wrong but I think silo.conf should be located in /etc - at least it has always been on my system.
Also shouldnt "image = /kernel-2.4.29 " actually be "image=/boot/kernel-2.4.29
Have a look in /etc , you might find there is a default version of silo.conf their that your system is trying to use. |

Have you re-run /sbin/silo? |
