-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Package: debian-installer
(is this the right package?) I'm using DHCP server to issue an Alpha LX164 machine with a netboot boot.img file. The latest version (2004-08-09, MD5: 4591236ca7d3eb6daba4b0f133f947a6) (and recent, previous versions) do not boot correctly as they failing to mount the initrd image and so cause the kernel to panic. The work-around is to issue a suitable kernel command-line at SRM prompt: boot ewa0 -fl "root=/dev/rd/0 devfs=mount,dall rw ramdisk_size=16384 init=/linuxrc" but this is somewhat unwieldy. Can correct parameters be compiled into the alpha-install kernel, embedded within the boot.img image? Cheers, Paul. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFBINHS/9JwS78PA+kRAusKAJ9rA7jijDHK6sryZ9py8NRmgNq6vACgvQXZ 3if6zd4UGPTjfgr3rl0IXI0= =ojY2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
