Hi all, I was just wondering if anyone had the same problem I am having, or had any ideas about it.
The machine is a Macbook Pro C2D. I use RefIt (no BootCamp) to dual-boot between OSX and a 32-bit linux 2.6.19.2 with recent Mactel patches. Actually, there are two weird things happening: 1) LILO does not get any keyboard input. The only way I could interact with the LILO menu was plugging in an external USB keyboard, which made the internal one work! Anyway, once the right kernel is setup, this is only a minor annoyance. 2) On boot, I get these messages: VFS: Cannot open root device "803" or unknown-block(8,3) Please append a correct "root=" boot option Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs, etc. I would think there is something wrong with the partition table or the initrd if this was systematic, but it isn't. Sometimes it boots straight away, and if I just keep rebooting eventually it works. I would think it is a pure hardware problem, but MacOS never has any trouble booting. Thanks for your ideas, Jerome ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
