I downloaded voyage-0.3.1.tar.bz2 onto my ubuntu laptop, untarballed it, and used the voyage.update script to install voyage onto a compact flash card using a usb card reader. I'm installing on a via cv860A, so I chose profile "Generic PC", console "standard", no pcmcia, and grub as my bootstrap. The usb card reader had me writing to /dev/sdb, where I created a single partition.<BR>
<BR>
I put the card in my via and started it. It hangs for a long time waiting for root file system. It then gies me the error:<BR>
<BR>
ALERT! /dev/hda1 does not exist. Dropping to shell!<BR>
<BR>
then:<BR>
<BR>
/bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off<BR>
<BR>
In the shell, i see that only /dev/hdc and /dev/hdc1 exist. I rename them to /dev/hda and /dev/hda1 respectively and am able to mount the file system. After this, however, I am lost. I do not know how to fix the problem so that /dev/hda and /dev/hda1 will exist. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.<BR>
<BR>
Thanks,<BR>
