Setting up my first NASLite+ server. Athlon 1050 512MB RAM w/fujitsu PC3065AH IDE. BIOS detection of hard drives is disabled.

NASLite+ boots past the splash screen and starts loading but fails. The last message is:

Kernel panic: VFS: unable to mount root fs at 01:00

How do I troubleshoot this?

Do you know the MB type, chipset, revision NO, etc. Any specific information about the exact hardware will be useful.

Well,

I don't have the exact board you have, but was finally able to repeatedly cause the condition with a pc-chips m810lmr board. The fix was to TURN POWER MANAGEMENT OFF in the BIOS. I can't confirm that in your case so please try it and post the results.

OK, turned off power management. Still fails with kernel panic but the message changed:

RAMDISK: NASLite filesystem found at block 0
........<1>unable to handle virtual paging request at virtual address e0a464a0
printing eip:
< omitted register and stack dump>
Code: 0f b6 04 10 83 e1 04 d3 83 e0 0f c1 e0 10 09 c7 89 7e 38
<0> kernel panic: Attempted to kill init!

Sounds like there is a lot more wrong with your configuration than just power management ;-)

Check in the BIOS and see if you have an option for default settings. In some cases there will be a SAFE or COMPATTIBLE setting - use it and then disable the HDs and PM in the BIOS accordingly.

If that does not make a difference, try different RAM.

The problem is most definitely hardware configuration related. Let me know how that goes.

Tried a different stick of RAM; problem solved. NASLite+ boots fine.

The original memory tests fine w/no errors, will boot and run Windows, but NASLite+ does not like it.

Thanks for your help.
