Hi,
since a few days I try to install v2.2rc3 via PXE. I use PXE for a lot of years, but today, I have no idea why it doesn't work.
I got the following error message:
VFS: Mount root (ext2 filesystem).
VFS: Cannot open root device “<NULL>” or unkown-block(8,1)
Please append a correct “root=” boot option; here are the available partitions:
Kernal panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unkown-block(8,1)
The main question is, what is the correct partition?
Maybe also, what kind of a partition it is?
The content of "/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg" is:
default endian-2.2-rc3
label endian-2.2-rc3
kernel /endian-2.2-rc3/vmlinuz
append initrd=/endian-2.2-rc3/initrd install=nfs://192.168.143.1/data/pxe/endian-2.2-rc3/
Ok, not a lot, but it must be enough. If I use “root=/dev/ram”, the system boots, until it stopps with a "blue screen". Not from Windows ;-) It is only blue, thats all.
Has somebody an advise?
Thanks a lot.
Manuel
