From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: ebrower@usa.net Date: Tue, 17 Nov 1998 21:16:28 +0000 Subject: [Q] ultrapenguin-1.1 on UE4000 Message-Id: List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: ultralinux@vger.kernel.org I've managed access to an Ultra Enterprise 4000 for an unknown duration-- a day, a week, a month-- basically until it is needed. I MAY be suffering from the same memory-slot problem as described by Svante Sormark earlier today on the list. I've attempted to install UltraPenguin-1.1 from Jakub's CD image, but to no avail. I'll be happy to put some spare-time work into getting this puppy running Linux, but I'll probably need some divine intervention regarding the following boot-sequence error message. Here's the entire boot sequence, with the error and banner info at the end. I MAY be suffering from the same memory-slot problem as described by Svante Sormark earlier today on the list. To make a long story short, I get the following: Partition check: request_module[block-major-11]: Root fs not mounted VFS: Cannot open root device 0b:00 Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 0b:00 Press L1-A to return to the boot prom At times, the boot gets one stage further and lists the partitions found on the disks.
