Hi I am trying to have a built in initramfs along with the traditional initrd. So I mount the initrd from the initramfs, but am facing problems in trying to run the 'linuxrc'. Following are the issues: 1. I mount the initrd from the initramfs and exceve 'linuxrc'. It starts executing linuxrc, but gives the following errors and panics: Red hat nash version 3.4.42 starting Loading jbd.o modules insmod: QM_MODULES ERROR: /bin/insmod exited abnormally! L...

...to fix netbooting and I got quit far. Before this, it reported that it had no root disk, I fixed this by specifying my initrd. Nou it crys's: Kernel panic: I have no root and I want to scream I think I made the mistake whit the creation of the initrd file. What should I put in it except the /linuxrc. I put a echo "TEST" in de /linuxrc to see if it runs, in stead of TEST I get kernel panic. thanks for helping, Mivz pcelinux.cfg: label linux kernel linux append initrd=initrd append root=/dev/rd/0

I converted my lvm root initrd to an initramfs by putting glibc, lvm, pivot_root, my linuxrc, etc. in my initramfs source file. I use ash compiled against klibc to run my linuxrc Unfortunately - pivot_root . initrd - complains - pivot_root: Invalid argument I suspect this may be because you can't pivot_root using a cpio initramfs root? If so, what should I do instead? Shoul...

Hi, I am trying to figure out a poor mans install ... I want to be able to boot CD iso thats on my hard disc .. There is an option to install via hard drive .. but I keep getting VFAT16 files system errors .. I know where copied iso image is ... I can boot kernel but linuxrc will not start LiveCD ... Maybe I could rewrite linuxrc to allow this but as it works from ram I am finding hard to figure out how to find iso Image ..?? Thanks in advance Dave T.

Hello again, I'm always not able to boot-up my CF-FileSystem. (It works with a 2.4.x Kernel!) See: http://syslinux.zytor.com/archives/2006-June/006942.html I dont't understand, why the kernel can't mount the root-fs on exit of "linuxrc". Before finising "linuxrc" I can work on it, start a "bash"-shell, do all sorts of linux-cmds on the root-fs... But I think I oversee a (tiny) thing. I've put some "printk" statements in kernel's "init/do_mounts.c" and "init/do_mounts_...

Hi, I want to customize initrd so that I can run my application once vmlinuz loads initrd. (similar to dos booting - dos runs autoexec.bat) I copied vmlinuz & initrd from RHEL4 ISO. Mounted initrd renamed 'linuxrc' exe to linuxrc1 created new script linuxrc called linuxrc1 from linuxrc script called my application from linuxrc script. But I receive "kernel panic" error: EXT2-fs: unable to read superblock isofs_fill_super: bread failed. dev=md1. iso_blknum=16. block=32 Kernel panic - not syncin...

...MDISK: ext2 filesystem found at block 0 RAMDISK: Loading 330000 blocks [ 1 disk ] into ram disk And then I never see the light of day after that ? Compressing the ramdisk doesn?t help because it?s basically already compressed ( a giant 290M tarball used as part of an installation process run from /linuxrc). After scouring the net I though I would be able to mount the initrd directly using /dev/initrd, but that didn?t seem to work. ? Can anybody point me in the right direction? ? - Gerry

Dear All, I have a following query: - My initrd image is created using ext2 filesystem. - The filesystem type of / is specified as ext3 in /etc/fstab file. - I dont mount the real root during execution of linuxrc because I referred some documents saying that if you dont mount real root from linuxrc the kernel will mount it after linuxrc is finished. - The system boots up successfully, mount command shows / partition mounted as ext3 but /proc/mount shows it as ext2. Is this because in the kernel ext3 is bui...

yup runned it. probably something wrong with my initrd filesystem. can you send me a directory listing of your initrd? and probably a sample linuxrc. if worse comes to worse, i'll probably load my usb and scsi modules in the initrd. i'm probably doing it all wrong. i'm trying to imitate the slackware10usb way of booting up. every driver built in the kernel, patch on the mounting root filesystem, and no initrd in the lilo.conf. some...
