[Voyage-linux] Re: Problem with Microclient JrDx diskless install - similar problem with PC104 boards

[Cimbaro, Peter]

Here's part of the dmesg, had to hand copy it....

Begin: Mounting Root FileSystem... Begin: Running /scripts/local-top... done
Begin: Waiting for Root filesystem
           ...done.
Gave up waiting for root device. Common problems:
    - boot args
      - check root delay ......
      - check root = ......
    - missing modules ....

ALERT! /dev/disk/by_label/ROOT_FS does note exist. Dropping to a shell

>From the message waiting for root filesystem to the gave out message there is about 4min's wait.
I have check to see if there are any other error messages, I could not find anything.  all the 
config seems to be correct.  I have tried two different PC104 boards a old Kontron and a Winsystems
same problem. Hard Drive's/CF's are IDE.  I did try installing this on a standard pc, 1.2Ghz via cpu and it worked fine however the HD was SATA.  Like I said before the Live-CD 6.X boots up fine and the install works fine as 
well.  Voyage 5.2 works with no problem.  Is the kernel on the live-cd 6.X the same as the installed kernel, once 
you have done the install?

thank-you
Peter
