I try to solve my problem by changing the kernel of the netinst CD image sarge-i386-netinst.iso.
I try to build the image with a kernel which will have been used to compile the module of the 3Ware controller.
I mounted the image in a directory and to copy his contents in the directory /tmp/cd
I compiled a new kernel 2.6.7 with the features (devfs, initrd, tmpfs, ext2...) and with the command: make-kpkg --initrd --revision=nodens.1.0 kernel_image modules_image
I extracted from the package the kernel vmlinuz-2.6.7: dpkg -x kernel-image-2.6.7_nodens.1.0_i386.deb.
I have to copy the file vmlinuz-2.6.7 in the directory /tmp/cd/install/2.6 in the place of the file vmlinuz
I have to recreate the ISO image and to record the CDROM : mkisofs -o test.iso -r -J -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat ./cd
I boot on the CDROM, and at the beginning of the procedure of installation I chose linux26 or expert26
And I have this error message:
RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0 VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem). Mounted devfs on /dev VFS: Cannot open root device "rd/0" or unknown-block(0,0) Please append a correct "root=" boot option Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)
Can you help me, please, I must install this server.
