Hi, I have been running Debian Unstable on my Ultra 2 (2x300Mhz, 768MB RAM) for quite a few months now without issue.
Last night, I updated my system using apt-get as I do every couple of days or so. It seemed to update quite a few key things such as gcc which all seemed to update successfully. I normally leave the machine on 24/7 but shut it down last night for the first time in maybe a couple of weeks. When I tried to boot the machine this morning, the system only wanted to mount the root filesystem read-only and the booting process failed when the machine got to the "init 3" stage. I tried scrolling back to see if I could work out what was happening earlier in the boot process but the only thing I could see was something along the lines of: "mount: you must specify a filesystem type" around the time when it was mounting the root filesystems. I also noticed at the prom boot prompt, it said: Allocating 8MB memory at 0x40000000 for kernel quickly followed by another message: Kernel doesn't support loading to high memory, relocating...done. The kernel that it is trying to boot into is a 2.4.23 I am not sure how to view my silo.conf file from the prom as I was going to try another kernel image to see if I could boot using that (I can't remember what alias names I have given older kernels on there!) I am really stumped here and any pointers would be greatly appreciated. Currently on Silo version 1.4.4. Thanks, Euan. --
