Hello Debian-Friends, I'm trying to install debian on a free partition, directly from the net. There was a article in a german Linux-Magazin, howto move a dedicated server with suse 7.2 to debian. I installed a minimal potato, did an update and an upgrade to sid . To do the installation, I did a "chroot" to my free partition and a "mount -t proc proc /proc". Everything worked fine until the kernel installation (apt-get -y installation kernel-image-2.4.19-686). The problem is with "mkinitrd" that doesn't find the root partition. I can reproduce the problem by invoking directly mkinitrd. I would greatly appreciate some help.
Here the terminal output: sun:/# dpkg --configure kernel-image-2.4.19-686 Setting up (2.4.19-3) ... /usr/sbin/mkinitrd: Cannot determine root device Failed to create initrd image. dpkg: error processing kernel-image-2.4.19-686 (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 29 Errors were encountered while processing: kernel-image-2.4.19-686 here is my /etc/lilo.conf: sun:/# cat /etc/lilo.conf boot = /dev/hda11 change-rules reset read-only lba32 prompt timeout = 80 image = /vmlinuz label = debian root = /dev/hda11 initrd = /initrd.img -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
