Yet more: Unable to open an initial console

Hi. I get "Unable to open an initial console" when booting 720degrees.

I've tried: sarge-r2, debian-sarge-stable. I've tried untaring with and without the p flag. Yes, everything is in the right place and I'm using the right kernel, I've checked... Lots of times :-)

Any ideas?

I'm pretty much at a loss. I'm just gonna try etch base with 2.6 to see if that works... Though I'm under the impression that wifi doesn't work with that? (Is that right? I'm not sure...)

Thanks.

Just go to forums.720degrees.net, and read some of the newbie threads. If you post there, I will see your problem sooner.

Wifi works with 2.6. Actually, everything works on 2.6 but sound, and twice as good as it does on 2.4.

I found the problem. I was untaring from a mac. I think it's mknod is different from linuxes mknod. I did the whole thing from my linux pc and it worked fine. Thanks!
