Hi Chris,
Most probably, the disk device cannot be detected by voyage kernel. At
least, we need to know what is your disk device. Is it IDE or sata?

Hi,
I have no problem with that, the issue is getting the info from that
computer into this email.
I have tried:
dmesg > errortext
I don't think it can be saved to the CF card, as the card cannot be
mounted?
cat proc/partitions has no info. It just displays:
major minor #blocks name
Thanks for the help.

It means exactly what it says:
At the shell prompt, type: "dmesg" (without the quotes) (and press
enter)
Copy and paste that to the email
Then type "cat /proc/partitions" (without the quotes) (and press enter)
Copy and paste that to the email

Hard disk is a CF card and I am using voyage-lenny.
Sorry, what do you mean by?
Please post "dmesg" and "cat /proc/partitions".
Thanks again!

Hi Chris,
No idea, but is it a sata harddisk? I might be unsupported on
voyage. Please post "dmesg" and "cat /proc/partitions". BTW what
voyage version you are using?

Hi,
Thanks for the help, but still no luck. Volume is called ROOT_FS
and I tried changing kernel parameter to "root=/dev/hda" and
"root=/dev/hda1" no luck.
Any other ideas?
Thanks,
Chris

Hi,
Check to see if your root fs has ROOT_FS volume label. If not,
label the fs with ROOT_FS. Or change grub to use "root=/dev/hda"
for kernel parameter.

Hi,
I am booting for a PC with a CF card Hard drive. I completed
installation on my Ubuntu standard PC and it worked fine.
When it's booting and it comes to:
Begin: Waiting for root file system ...
It pauses for about 5 minutes and then says:
Give up waiting for root device (and displays some common
problem solutions)
Then it drops to:
(initramfs)
My Grub settings look like this:
timeout 5
default 0
title voyage-linux-19Nov08
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz root=LABEL=ROOT_FS
initrd /initrd.img
Is this right?
I haven't changed anything from standard installation.
I have searched forums, and there is probably something very
simple to fix this, but I can't find anything as yet.
Thanks for your help in advance!
Chris
