First I installed sarge on a MacMini, then I dist-upgraded it to unstable. All is working fine with the 2.6.8-kernel. Then I installed linux-image-2.6.16-1-powerpc and got the problem with too small a ramdisk. After adding ramdisk_size=16384 to yaboot.conf I get the exact symptoms described above: RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0 Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0) My /etc/fstab looks like this: $ cat /etc/fstab # /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/hda3 / xfs defaults 0 1 /dev/hda4 none swap sw 0 0 /dev/hdb /media/cdrom0 iso9660 ro,user,noauto 0 0 $ mount says this: $ mount /dev/hda3 on / type xfs (rw) proc on /proc type proc (rw) sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw) usbfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw) tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620) $ And uname: $ uname -a Linux topper 2.6.8-powerpc #1 Thu Nov 24 00:17:15 UTC 2005 ppc GNU/Linux $ Some versions: $ wajig status initramfs-tools udev yaboot linux-image-2.6.16-1-powerpc Package Installed Previous Now State =======================-===============-===============-===============-===== initramfs-tools 0.57b 0.57b 0.57b install linux-image-2.6.16-1-powerpc 2.6.16-2 2.6.16-2 2.6.16-2 install udev 0.087-2 0.087-2 0.087-2 install yaboot 1.3.13-5 1.3.13-5 1.3.13-5 install $ Please let me know what other information I should supply.
