hi guys, as some of you might be aware, i've been trying to learn linux and get my sgi o2 to install and run it.

the problem i am getting is when the sgi o2 goes to boot, i get a mesasge saying

"no configuration found for this label" this happens before the kernel tries to load...

this is the arc.cf i wrote...

#arcload configuration
#some default settings…
append “root=/dev/sda3”;
append “ro”;
append “console=ttys0,9600”

#Main definitions

ip32 {
working {
description “sgi 02”
image system “/working”

}
}

and i set the o2 console up with the following commands


Setenv SystemPartition scsi(0)disk(1)rdisk(0)partition(8)
Setenv Autoload Yes
Setenv OSLoader sashARCS
Setenv OSLoadFilename working

When the o2 tries to boot I am getting a error message saying

“no configuration found for this label”

so I was wondering if anyone has any ideas on where I went wrong?

The plus side being I think I’ve learned more then I could have hoped about linux over the last couple of months while trying to get this sgi o2 to boot gentoo :o)

many thanks guys

That should be... setenv OSLoadFilename ip32(working) ... The "working" label is inside the "ip32" label.

now i get, something like,


loading configuration for 'ip32working'...
invalid term in the token '}' state TERM (expected ';' ).

i take it this means i entered a } when i should have entered a ; :) opps

No no no... not ip32working, it's ip32(working).

It also appears, you missed some semicolons in your arc.cf. ;-)

thanks for the help redhatter :)

the last post was a typo i did actually mean ip32(working)

it now just says "entering kernel."

then just hangs so it looks like i did something wrong else where... opps...

looks like its back to the drawing board....
