hey ben, i've spend a day attempting to get the kernel installed but am not having much luck.. the box i'm installing on is an alix (http://www.pcengines.ch/alix2d13.htm, amd geode) which has an ubuntu lucid kernel on it. the error message i'm getting (before it drops to an initramfs) is: ========================================== Gave up waiting for root device. Common problems: - Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline) - Check rootdelay= (did the system wait long enough?) - Check root= (did the system wait for the right device?) - Missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev) chvt: can't open console ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/371f6b1f-0267-41c1-94d6-4068567af74f does not exist. Dropping to a shell! BusyBox v1.13.3 (Ubuntu 1:1.13.3-1ubuntu11) built-in shell (ash) Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands. (initramfs) ========================================== while the error message may seem obvious (that it cant find the disk) i'm unsure how to proceed.. are you able to give any tips at all? (i'll keep plugging away in the meantime) regs R On 2 August 2010 21:16, Ryszard <ryszard99@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi Ben, > i'll get to this in the next day or so. > regs > R. > > On 2 August 2010 15:00, Ben Greear <greearb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: >> >> On 08/01/2010 06:51 PM, Ryszard wrote: >>> >>> Hey ben, >>> >>> thanks for the reply on this. >>> -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
