arch problem on old g4

[sacarde]

hi,

   I have an old installation in mini-g4 ... but now this have an error at boot:

attempting to create root device '/dev/hda4'

ERROR: Failed to parse block device name for '/dev/hda4' unknown.

ERROR: root fs cannot be detected. Try using the rootfstype= kernel parameter

waiting for devices to settle ... done

Root device 'dev/hda4' doesn't exist, attempting to create root device '/dev/hda4'

what do you suggest me to solve this?

thank you

Edit the configuration of yaboot, instead of hda4 search for sda4 . I
think you updated without reading the (non existing anymore)
instruction.


I don't know why you're AGAIN trying to use a DEAD project, like
ArchPPC.

I only see now.... that there are 2 errors before:

/etc/start_udev 110 /sbin/udevtrigger: not found

/etc/start_udev 110 /sbin/udevsettle: not found

thanks

p.s.

for me is important to restart this system

You need the data over the hard disk? Boot a Debian live system and copy
them over USB.

Struggling to boot archppc is, IMHO, *stupid*.

strange... in the system I dont view /etc/start_udev

may be this files are in initramfs ?

p.s.

because I have other systems in that mac-mini

I can chroot in system-arch

but if I reinstall linux-pmac I have:

==> ERROR: /proc must be mounted!

but I mount /dev /proc /sys
