With quik:
sda (unknown partition map):
hda (unknown partition map):
Kernel panic: Failed to mount root fs on XX:XX
With BootX (yuck):
sda: sda1 sda2 sda3 sda4 sda5 sda6
hda: hda1 hda2 hda3 hda4
[Booting continues normally]
This seems to affect 2.1.130-2.2pre2 but not 2.1.127. I am not sure about
.129.
It isn't a configuration problem, becuase I have tried a precompiled
R5-pre kernel (2.2pre2) with both and only BootX works.
I think that tonight I will dig out my 2.1.125 and see if it is a kernel
problem or a problem with quik or my installation.
On previous posts on linuxppc-user, I was ranting on about how BootX
should not be the default bootloader over quik and etc... So it's not my
favorite situation to need to use BootX.
