The problem was solved soon after sending this: I had to disable CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2/CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED
Now I am formatting and installing. Thanks, David Daney On 01/25/2012 09:51 AM, David Daney wrote:
Hi, I have a mipsel system (Cavium OCTEON) running kernel version 2.6.32.27, and I am trying to install squeeze on it. To do this, I have extracted the squeeze/main/installer-mipsel/sb1-bcm91250a/netboot/initrd.gz image onto a Compact Flash device. The kernel is then booted using the CF as a root filesystem. All this seems to work fine as the installer starts to run on my console and can find the network and configure it using DHCP However when I get to the part where it tries to find disks I get: ┌────────────────────┤ [!] Detect disks ├────────────────────┐ │ │ │ No partitionable media │ │ No partitionable media were found. │ │ │ │ Please check that a hard disk is attached to this machine. │ │ │ │ <Go Back> <Continue> │ │ │ └────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ From a different shell, I can see that /proc/partitions contains all my disks (both the CF being used as '/' and an 82GB SATA device) and they are in /sys as well. But the udev doesn't seem to be populating /dev/with them. Any pointers as to how to get it to see the disks? I think I am almost there. Thanks in advance, David Daney
