Hello,

I am hoping the collective wisdom of this group can help me with some
errors that I am getting when trying to boot MDV 2008. I am running
an Intel D915GHA board with a P4 560 3.6 GHz CPU. MDV is installed on
a SATA drive sitting between 2 NTFS partitions. I used the existing /
and /home partitions from my previous MDV 2007 install which ran fine.
I did an ftp "install" rather than an "upgrade" from the boot CD.
Install went well however on first boot after the install I get the
following errors:


Loading scsi_wait_scan.ko module
Mounting /proc filesystem
Mousting sysfs
Creating device files
Mounting tempfs on /dev
Creating root devices
Unable to access resume device (/dev/sda6)
No resume device specified
Trying userspace resume from suspend.conf file
No resume device in syspend.conf
echo: cannot open /sys/power/suspend2/do_resume for write: 2
echo: cannot open /sys/power/tuxonice/do_resume for write: 2
Mounting root filesystem /dev/root with flags relatime
mount: error 6 mounting ext2 fleags relatime
well, retrying without the option flags
mount: error 6 mounting ext2
Switching to new root
ERROR opening /dev/console!!!!: 2
unmounting old /proc
unmounting old /sys
switchroot: mount failed: 22
Initrd finished
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!

This all that was visible after the panic halted the system booting.
I tried some of the settings like pci=noacpi, acpi=oldboot, acpi=off,
acpi=force, and apm=off with no joy.

Any suggestions on where to look to fix the problem?

THx!

Could be a filesystem problem (fsck) or broken initrd,
fix it via rescue mode.

Google also suggests the /dev directory might not exist.
