Hello, I've been lurking and for some weeks, and finally decided to dive in and install Linux on an Indy.
I've tried this with both a 180MHz R5000 and a 200MHz R4400. They both have IRIX 6.2 at present. I have been using vmlinux-2.4.0.ecoff from ftp.rfc822.org as a kernel, and an Intel debian system as the dhcp/tftp/nfs server. The setup pretty much follows the suggested procedures at http://staf.digibel.org/. At the Indy PROM prompt, a command such as: >> boot -f bootp()vmlinux-2.4.0.ecoff init=/bin/bash nfsroot=192.168.0.1:/indy unfortunately ends with the message: Kernel panic: I have no root and I want to scream Looking at the nfsroot howto, I tried adding a "root=" parameter, specifically root=/dev/nfs as suggested. This leads to the message: Please append a correct "root=" boot option Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 00:ff What might I be missing here? Thanks, Steve Worotynec
