-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi
I would have booted the system with the debian kernel but it cannot boot because of initramfs not working. I have an serial ata root and the drivers aren't loaded without the initrd. So I've tried again with the two kernels mentioned before 2.6.21 and 2.6.18 both compiled with vesafb-tng patch. When I start without the splash it starts fine until gdm should start. When gdm doesn't come up I just logged in to the console and tried to start it manually and it didn't start. And the splashy install script complained about initrd not changed log attached. Might the initrd problems in yaird and newer kernels be causing this. Anything else I could try? I would try to compile another newer kernel but I can't get it to boot because of the yaird (initrd) problem. Here are the errors I get from the console when boot stops for maintenance (the last lines visible): Starting the hotplug events dispatcher: udevdSplashy ERROR: Connection refused Splashy ERROR: Couln't splashy_start_splashy(). ERROR -7 deev/sdb6 no such file or directory (SWAP) checks root filesystem ok (with path lib/init/rw/rootdev not through /dev/sdb1) dev/sdb5 Not found (HOME) Give root for maintenance...
