Hi, It presents the following error when I'm booting kernel 2.6.25 from Debian40r3 with built-in kernel 2.6.18-6-486 in VMWare:
>Begin: Waiting for root file system... ... >Done. > Check root= bootarg cat /proc/cmdline > or missing modules. devices: cat /proc/modules ls /dev >ALERT! /dev/sda1 does not exist. >/bin/sh: can't access tty: job control turned off >(initramfs) uname -r >2.6.25 I read this post: "Waiting for root file system..." hang solved, then modify /boot/grub/menu.lst: title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.18-6-486 root (hd0,0) #kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-6-486 root=/dev/sda1 ro kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-6-486 root=LABEL=LSDA1 ro initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.18-6-486 savedefault title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.18-6-486 (single-user mode) root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-6-486 root=/dev/sda1 ro single initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.18-6-486 savedefault title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.25, udev not devfs root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.25 root=LABEL=LSDA1 ro devfs=nomount initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.25 savedefault and the file /etc/fstab: proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 #/dev/sda1 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1 LABEL=LSDA1 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1 /dev/sda9 /home ext3 defaults 0 2 And issue these commands: $ su -c 'e2label /dev/sda1 LSDA1' $ su -c 'update-initramfs -u -k all' The above one command report 2.6.18-6-486 but not 2.6.25 $ su -c 'update-initramfs -u -k 2.6.25' The above says /boot/initrd.img-2.6.25 was been altered. Cannot update. Then I try the following: $ su -c 'update-initramfs -c -k 2.6.25' $ su -c 'mkinitramfs -d /etc/initramfs-tools -o /boot/ initrd.img-2.6.25 2.6.25' I don't find /etc/uswsusp.conf mentioned in Cameron's post on my machine. This time, it can not find the LABEL prompting the similar error when I boot with 2.6.25: >Begin: Waiting for root file system... ... >Done. > Check root= bootarg cat /proc/cmdline > or missing modules. devices: cat /proc/modules ls /dev >ALERT! /dev/disk/by-label/LSDA1 does not exist. But I can boot with the 2.6.18 kernel including the single mode, even I only use the LABEL way for one entry not the the other one - the single mode entry. The menu.lst is listed above. Under the (initramfs) prompt, the uname -r reports 2.6.25. Thank you for your time. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
