Thank you so much! That worked to get over the prom_init. |
2 |
unfortunately, I still cannot boot. It gets a kernel panic wand |
3 |
outputs: |
4 |
VFS: unable to open root "/dev/hda11" or unknown-block(0,0) |
5 |
add root= with correct root device to boot line |
6 |
kernel panic - cannot open root filesystem |
7 |
reboot in 180 seconds... |
8 |
I used "/dev/hda9" (my boot partition), "/dev/ram0", "hd:11", etc in |
9 |
various combinations as kernel options for root= and real_root= . with |
10 |
root=/dev/ram0 and real_root=/dev/hda11, it said unknown-block(1,0) |
11 |
instead. Is there an easy fix for this? should I be using OF or Linux |
12 |
HD naming? any other ideas? |
13 |
thank you so much again, |
14 |
