Hello all,
I just joined the list and not sure if my problems/experience were
covered or not.
I am installing on a Power Computing PTPro 250 with 128mb. Clean
install on a 4G fujitzu SCSI drive partitioned before with fwb harddisk
tool kit and bootx and kernel running off the default WD 2G.
First off on the install had to change size greater than 32000 or when I
was using disk drake I would get segfault when I tried to make mount
point. Fixed that with increasing the size.
Had the problem that I read about it not liking the second cd. It
depened on what all I picked to install for it to complain if it liked
the 2nd cd or not. When I chose install all it didn't like it and I
forget exactly what I chose the next time (maybe just network/server
choices) and it work fine.
Main problem:
Install is all done. I goto reboot and the kernel panics and can't find
the drive. Should be set to /dev/sdb4 in my case. I thought maybe I have
it wrong so I tried sdb5 etc throughout my partitions none of them work.
I get out the old linuxppc cd and use the 2.2.? kernel and my root
partition it boots into maintainence mode read only.
Is it possible it has something to do with the SCSI driver in the
default kernel and it can't find the drive?
Is it possible for me to use the new kernel on the cd or am I doing
something wrong. Didn't think I set anything up too badly. I have been
using Linuxppc from release 4 to 2000 and used mandrake on my intel
since 7.0. Unless I missed something obvious.
Any help/suggestions would be appreciated.
Joe
