While using mkinitrd on debian sarge, it gives the following error: mkinitrd -v -f --with=aacraid --with=sd_mod --with=scsi_mod initrd-2.6.16-xen.img 2.6.16-xen /usr/sbin/mkinitrd: illegal option -- v $Id: mkinitrd,v 1.201 2004/05/16 22:00:48 herbert Exp $ Usage: /usr/sbin/mkinitrd [OPTION]... <-o outfile> [ve...

RHEL 4's mkinitrd will fail to recognise that root is on LVM when running on a recent kernel/udev due to changes in naming. This patch detects LVM root for RHEL 4, and uses a dirty hack to frig mkinitrd if required. Fixes RHBZ#580461 --- lib/Sys/VirtV2V/GuestOS/RedHat.pm | 21 +++++++++++++++++++-- 1 files chang...

From: Pino Toscano <ptoscano at redhat.com> Complementary fix of commit 2d25872df3619a3077006ad0f91c029602db6780. On SLES 11 SP4 with kdump enabled mkinitrd calls mkdumprd which calls mkinitrd, but mkdumprd doesn't have any clue of the root device. Call mkinitrd with rootdev environment variable to tell them all what device to use as root. Tested-By: C?dric Bosdonnat <cbosdonnat at suse.com> --- v2v/convert_linux.ml | 4 +++- 1 file change...

I need to be able to install CentOS 5.2 on a machine with software RAID (and LVM) setup. I discovered (the hard way!) that there is a bug in the mkinitrd package that causes it to enter an endless loop when there are /dev/mapper/ devices present during the install process. There is a patch to mkinitrd, which I applied and created a new rpm for mkinitrd with this patch applied. I'd like to now create a alternitive install CD, but I am not sure...

We are happily running xen on a server which uses a SATA driver (thank you all you xenists for producing such a great product). However, we are creating a custom kernel for a domU. When we attempt to run mkinitrd we get: No module ata_piix found for kernel 2.6.11.12-xenUIPSec, aborting. This is the SATA driver. In the past (xen 2.0.5), we simply ran make ARCH=xen menuconfig and told it to build a module for the low level scsi driver for ata_piix. That was simply to eliminate the error as I do not think...

...DME, but I need an initrd which contains the HP cciss RAID driver, and no Xen initrd image was installed into /boot. Now I notice xen-3.0.2-2-install/install/lib/modules/2.6.16-xen/kernel/drivers /block/cciss.ko But I can''t get this into an initrd; the Xen README suggests using "mkinitrd -v -f --with=cciss" etc. but the version of mkinitrd in Debian does not support that syntax. Any ideas? Where can I get that version of mkinitrd that does support "--with" syntax? Cheers, Gavin. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@li...

Hey all, Just thought I'd give a quick shout out across the mailing list that it looks like Extlinux support got merged into Fedora's mkinitrd, which I believe is in time for Fedora 11. This apparently isn't my full patch series (which if anyone cares can be found at: http://git.kernel.org/?p=boot/warthog9/mkinitrd-syslinux.git;a=summary ) since it's missing the Extlinux menu stuff, but this is a good start none the less. I...

How should mkinitrd integrate with the initramfs that comes with the kernel? At the moment, mkinitrd can simply provide an /init script and take over with the contents of its own cpio file available. /init then loads some modules, plays with mdadm, lvm, cryptsetup, creates some device nodes, mounts a filesystem, swi...

mkinitrd in SLE guests < 12 tries to get the root device by scanning the fstab: this will fail, since v2v already remapped the devices from hd*/sd* to vd* in the guest (including in its fstab). Since we know what is the root device in the appliance, pass it to mkinitrd directly, so it does not have to d...

Hi all, I have a Opteron-machine with the MPT SCSI-controller (Symbios 53c1030). At least in i386-mode, mkinitrd does not seem to build a usable initrd for 2.6.13.x (.3 tested) with this kernel. With 2.6.12.6 it works fine. I have not tested this in x86_64 -mode yet. The symptom is that mptbase and mptscsih load, but mptscsih does not discover any controllers nor drives, and things like Booting the kernel...
