similar to: INITRD > MEMSIZE / 2

I?ve got a 512M machine and a 330M ( uncompressed ) initrd image. How can I mount the ramdisk? Normal booting seems to want to copy the entire initrd image into a Ramdisk, thus requiring 2X the memory. So what happens is the kernel boots correctly and I get, RAMDISK: 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

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? Should I

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

Im pxebooting target machine with vmlinuz & initrd. Once vmlinuz loads initrd, Im calling "/bin/sh" from linuxrc script so that I get command prompt. But my machine is not connected to network. # ping 192.168.25.2 connect: network is unreachable #ifconfig -a can not open /proc/net/dev : No such file or directory my /proc is empty. Please advice how to customize initrd image to

Hello all Now I may be way of whack here, so please forgive me. I''m trying to merge xen with redhat''s config-netboot. The idea being a kinda stateless domU. For those that haven''t seen you share a rootfs and then bind mount all the individual files over then top, and the redhat gui builds all the pxeboot config and stuff for you if you want a diskless client. I

Hi, All I am currently learning on the early userspace(EUS) code. And my goal is accessing initrd while in the EUS. For example: mount an initrd with the EUS mount command, Fsck it, chroot to it, run linuxrc in it and so on... But depend on the code, One can not preserve a initrd image when loading into EUS. So I must modify the EUS code to reach the goal. Can you give me some advices about

Hello, I would like to know if initrd is here to stay, now that klibc and initramfs are ready. As the multipath-tools maintainer, I'm facing the choice to 1) put the multipath configuration tool in the initrd * dynamic binary is possible * storage hba drivers as modules loaded * no klibc limitations (no mntent for libsysfs ...) 2) put the multipath configuration tool in the initramfs *

As you know, HVM save/restore broke recently because restored config miss guest memsize that used by xc_hvm_restore to locate some pfn. After discussion, we decided to remove the pfn deduction logic from restore side by adding a general memory layout. I have a patch for it. But then qemu broke, because it also require the memsize to locate the share page. We can''t use the previous

Use %d to parse them as int (since the variables for them as int) instead of %u, even if they both need to be at least > 0. --smp was already checked to be >= 1 while --memsize not, so check that the specified memory size is not < 128 (which is semi-arbitrary, but enough as a minimum threshold). --- rescue/rescue.c | 12 ++++++++++-- 1 file changed, 10 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-)

Argon2 is the default LUKS Password-Based Key Derivation Function (PBKDF) for some new guests such as RHEL 8.2 and Fedora. It is designed to be "memory hard", meaning that by design it requires large amounts of memory, making it expensive to brute-force. Unfortunately the default for guests which had more than a few GB of RAM at install time is to require about 1 GB of RAM to decrypt

hi ya syslinuxerz - i've been slowly working on a making a custom bootable standalone usb-stick with X11 and kde - it's basically builds itself off of a slackware-10.1 server - create a custom initrd.gz ( /dev/ram0 ) http://linux-boot.net/Bootable/InitRD/ - create a custom rootfs.gz ( /dev/loop0 ) http://linux-boot.net/Bootable/RootFS/ - create X11 and kde loopfiles

Hello, I'm trying 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

A little bird whispers to me: Don't expect this particular trick to be un-addressed by various legislatures forever. That window is closing, and the bottom of the window looks very much like a guillotine blade - don't have your head in the wrong place. In any case, as has been discussed on -users before (which is where this thread should go, and thus where I'm relegating it)

Anybody had any luck getting MS flight simulator running? I'm running Ubuntu 7.10 on Intel and got to missing the Winders flight simulators after someone just gave me FS-X. It starts to install fine until it asks for the second DVD, which it never sees. When I click the Retry button, it keeps coming back with "Insert Disk #2." Any ideas?

I've seen several references to running smbmount from /etc/fstab, but I've never seen an example. Does anyone have an example fstab entry that does this? Thanks Steve Litt
