| 21:02.28 | Akatemik | Evening. Is there a way to tell yaboot to boot a certain initrd.img? It seems that in addition of not installing, 2.6.18-1 broke my /boot... |
| 21:07.32 | *** join/#debianppc benzea (n=benzea@p54A3AD72.dip0.t-ipconnect.de) |
| 21:12.46 | pahartik | Akatemik: specify something like "/boot/vmlinux-2.6.18-powerpc initrd=/boot/initrd.img-2.6.18-powerpc root=/dev/sda4 ro" interactively at "yaboot" prompt when booting... |
| 21:13.55 | Akatemik | Ok. Is there a way to get a directory list, or do I start guessing the exact name of the previous kernel? |
| 21:16.05 | pahartik | Akatemik: which kernel version did you have before? |
| 21:16.11 | Akatemik | 2.6.14 |
| 21:16.23 | Akatemik | But not sure about a possible minor number or revision |
| 21:16.30 | pahartik | Akatemik: and was it custom kernel package or binary provided by Debian? |
| 21:16.36 | Akatemik | Binary by Debian |
| 21:18.49 | Akatemik | Ah, finally guessed it |
| 21:20.41 | Akatemik | Next, correct root... It's been a while since I've last used Linux on this ibook. Been mostly on OSX side |
| 21:27.45 | Akatemik | Ugh, it's not /dev/hda1-6... how high the partition number can be. |
| 21:34.16 | Akatemik | There must be something else wrong... the root device is hda, I get a verification from kernel messages, but none of the partitions up to 9 work |
| 21:37.52 | Akatemik | Kinda annoying, since yaboot finds the kernel that resides in that partition |
| 21:42.39 | *** join/#debianppc benzea (n=benzea@p54A39278.dip0.t-ipconnect.de) |
| 21:43.15 | pahartik | Akatemik: if MacOS X is installed on same harddisk on lower partitions, Linux root filesystem could easily be on partition 12 or 13... |
| 21:43.50 | Akatemik | Hmm, ok. Sounds funny though, since if there's just the bootloader partition and OSX partition before the linux one |
| 21:43.57 | Akatemik | I'll keep trying... |
| 21:47.26 | Akatemik | I've been trying without the initrd option to speed up typing, can that be the problem even if the kernel is complaining about wrong root-option? |
| 21:48.59 | Akatemik | Since there's no working hda-partition up to 16 :/ |
| 21:56.52 | pahartik | Akatemik: boot with live-CD or Linux installer media, use "chroot" to fix your system... |
| 21:59.52 | Akatemik | Yeah, I guess that's the only way left. I have to forfeit for this weekend, I don't have time to get to a cd-burner before next week :/ |
