Actually not. The 'pivot root' command just above is the attempt to switch from the initrd to the regular file system. The "cannot open dev/console" is almost always caused by the fact that the normal root file system could not be mounted and thus the _normal_ /dev/ directory not being available. A common cause for the root file system being unable to mount is missing driver(s) for the root filesystem in the initrd, but in this case I think cause of the segmentation fault needs to be looked into.

Re: problem with rebooting
Indeed, I had the same problem installing with the parameter linux26 and linux26 vga=771 sorted it out...

Re: problem with rebooting
The problem with it hanging during the install process on the 2.6 kernel is most likely a display error given by the radeon graphics chipset. Your best chance is to redo your install using: linux26 vga=771 Try that first. * [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [2005-05-26 13:51:58 +0200]: > well, I didn't apply any option during the installation apart the italian > language and keyboard, simply because I am > quite a newbie about linux so I do not know what is the best thing to do.

I don't know how you fix that from the Debian install though. -- derek -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: problem with rebooting
well, I didn't apply any option during the installation apart the italian language and keyboard, simply because I am quite a newbie about linux so I do not know what is the best thing to do. I also tried to install with the new kernel (linux26 command) but the system refused to go further (it simply stopped and no key was able to "move" it), so I installed the regular (2.4) kernel. The disk has a Windows NTFS partition (first primary partition), a second primary partition ext3 for "/" and a fifth logical for "swap". The bootloader (GRUB) was installed (seemingly) regularly. I can still choose (and run) Windows XP. the lines of GRUB for starting linux are the following: root (hd0,1) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.27-2-386 root=/dev/hda2 ro initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.4.27-2-386 savedefault boot best regards, Giancarlo - Original Message - From: "Dave Patterson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Thursday, May 26, 2005 11:47 AM Subject: Re: problem with rebooting -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
