Hi For some reasons I'm looking for easy to install and easy configurable linux. I remember that FC is really user friendly and against some of other distros does not destroy hand made configs. Installation passed successfully. At boot I've got kernel panic. ... Mounting root filesystem. mount: could not find filesystem '/dev/root' Setting up other filesystems. Setting up new root fs setuproot: moving /dev failed: No such file or directory no fstab.sys, mounting internal defaults setuproot: error mounting /proc: No such file or directory setuproot: error mounting /sys: No such file or directory Switching to new root and running init. unmounting old /dev unmounting old /proc unmounting old /sys switchroot: mount failed: No such file or directory Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! Then: Fresh FC5 on /dev/sda3 - reiserfs. /dev/sda3 / reiserfs defaults 1 1 bootloader: gentoo's (what the different ;)) lilo in sda mbr. Initrd first made with anaconda standard procedures. second - I started with dvd rescue option and made it with mkinitrd (after chroot). third - I edited mkinitrd to force some extra commands in initrd "init" script and I forced device-mapper modules to include in initrd this way I know that /dev/sda3 is created properly and (probably) fail operation is: mkrootdev -t reiserfs -o defaults,ro /dev/sda3 initrd modules: scsi_mod.ko sd_mod.ko libata.ko sata_nv.ko reiserfs.ko dm-mod.ko dm-snapshot.ko dm-mirror.ko dm-zero.ko lspci 00:00.0 Memory controller: nVidia Corporation CK804 Memory Controller (rev a3) 00:01.0 ISA bridge: nVidia Corporation CK804 ISA Bridge (rev a3) 00:01.1 SMBus: nVidia Corporation CK804 SMBus (rev a2) 00:02.0 USB Controller: nVidia Corporation CK804 USB Controller (rev a2) 00:02.1 USB Controller: nVidia Corporation CK804 USB Controller (rev a3) 00:04.0 Multimedia audio controller: nVidia Corporation CK804 AC'97 Audio Contro ller (rev a2) 00:06.0 IDE interface: nVidia Corporation CK804 IDE (rev f2) 00:08.0 IDE interface: nVidia Corporation CK804 Serial ATA Controller (rev f3) 00:09.0 PCI bridge: nVidia Corporation CK804 PCI Bridge (rev a2) 00:0a.0 Bridge: nVidia Corporation CK804 Ethernet Controller (rev a3) 00:0b.0 PCI bridge: nVidia Corporation CK804 PCIE Bridge (rev a3) 00:0c.0 PCI bridge: nVidia Corporation CK804 PCIE Bridge (rev a3) 00:0d.0 PCI bridge: nVidia Corporation CK804 PCIE Bridge (rev a3) 00:0e.0 PCI bridge: nVidia Corporation CK804 PCIE Bridge (rev a3) 00:18.0 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 [Athlon64/Opteron] HyperTra nsport Technology Configuration 00:18.1 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 [Athlon64/Opteron] Address Map 00:18.2 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 [Athlon64/Opteron] DRAM Con troller 00:18.3 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 [Athlon64/Opteron] Miscella neous Control 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV370 5B60 [Radeon X300 (PCIE)] 01:00.1 Display controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV370 [Radeon X300SE] 05:06.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB Live!

P.S. IMHO it looks like nash error. But I'd rather something easy to repair. -- WK Wypusty: ftp://farba.eu.org/pub/linux/arts/
