Hello there,
I must be tantalizing close to a solution, but I have too little knowledge of linux to make the last final step.
I installed ubuntu 8.04 64bit a few days ago, after which I installed 64studio on another partition(sda3).
by changing the menu.lst file I managed to load 8.04 first instead of 64studio.
But this still leaves with the problem that 64studio doesn't boot at all. it stops at:
Check root= bootarg cat /proc/cmdline
or missing modules, devices: cat /proc/modules ls /dev
ALERT! /dev/sda3 does not exist.
Dropping to a shell!
BusyBox ....... ........ commands.
/bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off
I did some search for information and got this:
