[arch-ports] Installation error
Hello, I am new to Linux in general and the Arch version in particular. I tried to install the Arch Port (2010-07-23_archppc-ftp.iso) via my CD Drive (Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-118L) and got the following result: :: scanning for boot cdrom device Failed to mount /dev/cd/* Failed to mount /dev/cdrom Failed to mount /dev/hd* Failed to mount /dev/sda Failed to mount /dev/sv* Cannot find booted cdrom.dev Cannot continue followed by: kernal panic - not syncing: attempted to kill init! Call Trace: which I could not finish copying before the system rebooted. The system is an upgraded PowerPC G4 Quicksilver (dual 1.73 GHz MPC-7448's replaced the dual 800 MHz MPC-7455's) w/ 1GB RAM, 2 80 GB internal hard drives,2 1TB external Firewire drives (one used as a boot drive), an ATI Radeon PCi graphics card w/ 1 display, and an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro graphics card w/ 2 displays. While trying to boot, the verbage appears on one display, then switches to the other, then returns to original display to fail. I assume some where a log file is created and I wonder where that log file is along with some help in understanding what is going wrong. Frank J. R. Hanstick trog24@comcast.net
