Submitted by computerkidt on 11 January, 2009 - 06:30.
Using TZ2 pack for lifedrive, I always get the same error anyway i try to run this...
Mounting LifeDrive data partition...
attempting to mount /dev/loop1: mounted on /media/hdd.
Sourcing linux.boot.cfg: not found
post_module scip no found.
no swap specified.
mounting rootfs: not a file or block on device.
/media/mmc1/rootfs.ext2
is: /media/hdd/[].ext2: no such file or directory
failed!
could not mount root fs: init failed!
please, reset, check your configureation and retry.
(A ton of text also before this, also [] represents a solid white box)
i have all files on the sd card and the lifedrive and ive tryed runing cocoboot from the sd card and installed in to the lifedrive and run it from there and always get the same error.
It seems something is wrong
It seems something is wrong with your config files, have you checked if the file names are the same specified in the config?
Maybe your rootfs file is corrupted....
Please, dont write about this on each topic, keep all messages in one place, it helps who is trying to help you.

since no one is active much on this site i though it would improve my chances or getting a reply.
1).to start does anyone have md5 or any other hash of the files so i can check if there corrupt or different here are my MD5 hashes:
rootfs.ext2 MD5: 7D66730B29C47426495A02A3BF970EAD
swap.gz MD5: C13D611CE737CC731E8FAE3F8D864052
zImage MD5: 3442F0EACDED8C5578E739508B5EC4FD
cocoboot.prc MD5: 66C04CA13853BA081825FEC2F9AD77DA
cocoboot-0.5.3.prc MD5: 8FCD24366BE4997D8556F7113222EE0E
2).also i tried the cocoboot version that's in the TP2 file i believe 0.5.0 and Ive tried the current cocoboot 0.5.3.
3).the cocoboot 0.5.3 config file i have atm is(not including the comments):
kernel = /zImage
noprompt = 0
openserial = 0
4).also the linux.boot.cfg is:
SWAP_DEV=$FILES_MNT/swap.gz
ROOT_DEV=$FILES_MNT/rootfs.ext2
5).also i run windows so i downloaded the swap file
