I have a PC with no CD-ROM; I hooked up a CD-ROM to install Endian. Everything goes well, I get Endian setup and configured. Once all the install is complete I remove the CD-ROM and reboot the server.

After removal of the CD-ROM I am unable to load Endian. I get error message similar to this

Mounting tmpfs on /dev
mounting root filesystem with flags noatime
mount: error 6 mounting ext3 flags noatime
well, retrying without the option flags
mount: error 6 mounting ext3
well, retrying read-only without any flag
mount: error 6 mounting ext3
Error opening /dev/console!!!! 2
switchroot: mount failed: 22
Kernel panic -not syncing attempting to kill init
Rebooting in 10 seconds

I am not very familar with Linux; Obviously the problem has to do with the CDROM being removed as when I reattach it Endian boots up fine

Any ideas how to fix this?

note: the harddrive is a SATA drive and the CDROM is IDE

Well I went out and purchased a USB CD-ROM; hooked that up and installed it that way; This seems to have done the trick.

Not the best answer but still a work-around if anyone else runs into this issue.

I might have tried something like disabling the drive/IDE port after install. Ideally what you experienced shouldn't be a problem because of how an appliance would usually run.
