Hey everyone, I have been having a problem with Etch and was wondering
if anyone else has run into this issue?
After updating the initial install, the boot process hangs at "Begin:
waiting for root file system"
I have repeated the install twice with the same results. Upon searching
for answers the only thing I found is the following:
I edited the file "/etc/kernel-img.conf" to add the line:
ramdisk = /usr/sbin/mkinitrd.yaird
And then regenerated the initrd image.
dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-2.6.16-1-amd64-8-smp
And I could boot. It seems this is an error while creating
the initrd image.
As this situation stretches my limited abilities I tried following these
directions (dubious as they look to me) by using Knoppix but I was
unsuccessful.
Any feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks
Nick
