I dd'd the openwrt-x86-generic-combined-ext2.img file on to hard disk of my laptop. The HDD is PATA. Since there is no booting off of USB involved, I expected vmlinuz to find /dev/sda2 (root) and continue the boot process. However, no joy -- I get the dreaded "Waiting for root device /dev/sda2..." even with the image installed on a PATA hard disk. All suggestions/work around welcome. -- Arun Khan _______________________________________________ openwrt-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openwrt.org/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-users
