Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.12-9-powerpc
After searching for some kernel that runs in this old machine, and don't have
problems in serial ports as reported in bugs #63289 and #63292, I try the some
kernels that was launched with Breezy.
Both linux-image-2.6.12-9-powerpc (2.6.12-9.23) and
linux-image-2.6.12-10-powerpc (2.6.12-10.42) failed to boot with quik
bootloader, happen errors like this "kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: unable to
mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)". For my restricted knowledge I mean this
have something with inird/initramfs, but don't find a solution.
I try booting in BootX (1.2.2), here I was more succesfull but it stops in
mounting root file system, segfaulting several times, and I get a simple
busybox console.
Linux works pretty well with kernel 2.6.10 in Dapper, in Edgy it works, but
have problems with udev (this kernel is older).
I'm disposed in do something to discover whats the problem here and how
to repair it, with some feedback instructions, I really may help,
Sorry for my (still learning) english.
