Hello,
Long time listener; first time poster:
I'm attempting to install Kubuntu on a VIA EPIA TC6000 with a Transcend 4GB compact flash card (with IDE to compact flash adapter) and 512MB of RAM.
My first attempt was with the Kubuntu 6.06.1 Dapper Drake Desktop cd. It appeared to be installing correctly, but after setting the / and swap partitions the installer mysteriously disappeared at the copying files stage. I tried a second desktop cd at a lower burn speed of 16x but with the same results.
My second attempt was with the Kubuntu 6.06.1 Dapper Drake Alternate cd. This failed right off the bat with the following error:
Kernel panic - not syncing VFS unable to mount foot fs on unknown-block (1.0)
This cd was also burned at the lowest setting of 16x.
I event tried a debian 3.1r3 i386 installation cd that resulted in the same kernel panic error listed above.
Has anyone encountered this error? Any workarounds?
Are there preliminary steps to take in preparing a compact flash card as the primary drive for a linux install?
Regards,
Bryce
