Hi,
I have an IBM ThinkCenter box with a SATA hard disk on it. I was
running Debian stable ('sarge') on it fine till this morning when I
decided to be adventerous.
I had 2.6.8-2-686 initrd kernel image installed on it before. This
morning I installed a custom compiled 2.67.8-mppe-686 initrd image
onto the box. When I now reboot, I get a kernel panic for BOTH
kernels. The kernel panic says something like:
pivot_root no such file or directory
It is also unable to find /dev/console.
The SATA disk is detected as a SCSI disk by the boot process. However,
the filesystem on it is never booteded.
It looks like the initrd image generated does not contain the proper
modules "built in". How do I go about rescuing the system? I tried
Ubuntu live CD. But this detects the SATA disk as hda. I tried booting
from a sarge netboot CD. But this one does not seem to have a rescue
option.
Any ideas?
Thaths
