Well, that's interesting. It seems that both the kernel looks at |
13 |
OSLoadPartition from the prom when being loaded via arcboot. Arcboot |
14 |
uses OSLoadPartition to determine where the kernel and arcboot.conf are |
15 |
stored, and it uses the SGI naming scheme to do so (eg the |
16 |
pci(0)scsi(0)disk(1)rdisk(0)partition(X) bit). The kernel uses |
17 |
OSLoadPartition to determine the root device, and apparently the |
18 |
append="root=/dev/sda3" from arcboot.conf isn't getting passed, or is |
19 |
being overridden. Try changing OSLoadPartition to /dev/sda3 from the |
20 |
prom. Arcboot will spit an error that you should change it to something |
21 |
else, but then will scan the other partitions for /etc/arcboot.conf and |
22 |
should auto-detect what partition it really needs and then boot normally. |
