Problem with 10.2 install

jac0b · 12-21-2005, 08:42 PM

When this first happened I burned the CD at a slower speed and I am still having this problem. I have tried the CD in other computers and it boots fine. Below is the dmesg of the boot process.

Code:

This is what I get after I login as root.

Code:

Dec 21 21:49:56 (none) user.info init: Waiting for enter start '/bin/sh' (pid 225, terminal /dev/tty2)
Dec 21 21:49:56 (none) user.info init: Waiting for enter start '/bin/sh' (pid 226, terminal /dev/tty3)

Help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

There are two errors that I saw in your dmesg, one complaining about a missing scsi_hostadapter module (check if that is enabled in the kernel), and the second concerning the ramdisk.

Can you start X? Sometimes there are errors which don't affect the normal running of the system. If you can log in and run Slack, I wouldn't worry about it.

No, this is what happens when I am installing slackware from the CD. It asks to login as root after it boots and you select the keyboard map. I login as root and the other error is what happens, I have tried typing "setup" also but is says it can't be found.

I have fixed the problem, just as what mdg said it was a problem with the ramdisk. I booted off a floppy disk which fixed the problem. It was somthing with the CD I dunno but it is fixed.
