Unable to install Slackware 2.2.0 with boot/root disks

Unable to install Slackware 2.2.0 with boot/root disks

Post by George Khali » Mon, 24 Apr 1995 04:00:00



Hi,

The boot disks are able to detect both my harddrives and my Soundblaster 16
with CDROM.  But I am getting a bios error before it detects my drives:

bios32_init:  BIOS32  Service directory structure at 0x...... (some hex number)
bios32_init:  BIOS32  Service directory entry at 0x...... (some hex number)
PCI BIOS init:  ERROR  BIOS32 says pci bios is present
but pci subfunction fails with present status at 0xb1
and signature of 0x00000000 (ProbePCI pci bios not detected)

I have a Pentium 60 MHz with a PCI bus.  Could it be that my bios won't
work with this distribution?

Thanks,

George Khalifa

1. Unable to boot Linux from disk (VFS:Unable to mount root)

I had installed RH6.1 on a disk connected to a Promise Ultra/66
controller. Had done so by passing the I/O addresses of ide2 and ide3 at
the LILO boot prompt. Was able to boot until I had to drop one of the PCI
cards from the PC. Now I can only boot from the boot floppy using the I/O
addresses and the kernel recognises the drives on the Ultra/66, but when I
try the same with the installed kernel, I get a VFS: Unable to mount root
message. Any pointers??
