similar to: network booting initrd -mount: error 6 mounting ext3

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

I''m struggling to get Xen to boot on a FC4 Opteron box. I''ve included the tail of the boot log below [1]. I suspect that the problems relates to the software RAID 1 root and boot partitions, and how it relates to the initrd image. The RAID volumes fail to mount. I compiled the Xen snapshot from the 23rd September, and the only change I''ve made is to enable the

Recently, I was able to create a workable Centos 4.4 "Live USB" on my 1G Lexar Firefly pendrive using the steps in http://linux.web.psi.ch/livecd/usbdisk.html. At the moment, it is doing its job, so I probably won't focus too much more on it. One thing that is annoying, although doesn't cause a problem is that on powerdown and reboot, the cd rom drive ejects - of course, there

Hi , I am ruuning Senmail with MailScanner on CentOS 4.4. It has updated to kernel 2.6.9-42.0.8.EL from its past kernel 2.6.9-42.0.3.EL. Now the Server can not boot up and gives the below error. mkrootdev: label / not found Mounting root filesystem mount: error 2 mouting ext3 switchroot: mount failed: 22 Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! But I can boot up from its

Im n/w booting machine with kernel - vmlinuz and initrd initrd.img. I copied vmlinuz & initrd.img from RHEL4 iso. I want to modify initrd.img so that when 2nd stage boot loader loads initrd, my custom application gets executed. linuxrc in initrd.img is sym-link to /sbin/init. My steps: 1. Renamed linuxrc to linuxrc1 2. created new linuxrc script & invoked "/linuxrc1" from

I encountered same error when use Xen3.0.2(source file) on CentOS4.2, after I downgraded to Xen2.0.7(source file), this error disappeared. now, I am using Xen2.0.7 instead of 3.0.2, it works well. --taylor -----邮件原件----- 发件人: xen-users-bounces@lists.xensource.com [mailto:xen-users-bounces@lists.xensource.com] 代表 xen-users-request@lists.xensource.com 发送时间: 2006年6月15日 5:24 收件人:

I hope the CentOS people don't mind me cross-posting for their input. I've just done a clean, text-mode minimal WBEL4 install on an IBM Netfinity 4500, essentially the same hardware as an xSeries 340. The install went fine but now the box will boot, run through the initrd init sequence, perform its switchroot then hang here... SELinux: Initializing. SELinux: Starting in permissive mode

Hi folks, After using 3.0.3 at work for awhile I decided to upgrade my 3.0.2 install at home to 3.0.3; however, I ran into issues with my IDE disk not being discovered. The full log can be seen here: http://www.techmonkeys.org/xen.txt I think this is the part most people will care about: Red Hat nash version 4.2.1.8 starting Mounted /proc filesystem Mounting sysfs Creating /dev Starting udev

I have a CentOS 5 machine in which I'm trying to remove lvm. I dd'ed the file system to another partition, then dd'ed it back overwriting the lvm partition. I then modified menu.lst and fstab and replaced the paths to point to the correct device. When the system boots it's still looking for lvm. I can restore the system back to where it was with lvm, but I'm not sure what

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

Hi all, I am trying to boot from a HD created as a copy of a running system (and it doesn't work, and I don't understand why ...)

Hi In linuxrc(on initrd), there is one 'mkrootdev /dev/root' for creating root device, which it later mounts as root. Where does it get the information regarding the real root device from? Thanks Rachita.

The attached patch breaks out the /dev/root device node creation from do_mounts, placing it in it's own utility (called mkrootdev). This is worthwhile, as certain setups will need the device node there to run fstype and load a proper module (or other things). No, it does not currently configure raid devices.... I didn't know if that made sense in there or not.... Let me know what you

virt-p2v was able to convert my centOS 5.2 physical machine to xen virtual machine and it runs great. Now, I am working on to convert this full virt machine to para virt . Under my domU i have installed kernel-xen (since it is needed ) , and edited my grub menu to use the installed kernel. My grub menu file in domU looks like: ---- kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-92.1.17.el5xen ro

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi I''m currently using xen-3.0.2-testing on several servers. But when xen 3.0.3 was announced I wanted to try it, of course it should have several iprovements and bugfixes, etc. I did the same steps I was previously done in order to compile xen-3.0.2, and in fact xen compiled and installed very cleanly. I created my initrd image and then I

Hi, I am trying to load kernel 2.6.6 on a Soekris net4521 from the network using PXE. I built my initrd with mkinitrd. RedHat nash (while running linuxrc) hangs after mounting /proc and says "Creating block devices". I am using the pxelinux.0 from the syslinux-2.10 distribution and the kernel and initrd were built on redhat 9.0. I built my kernel with BLK_DEV_RAM, RAMFS, TMPFS,

Hello. =) I''m having a bit of trouble with my nfs xen installation and have spent much time trying to research/figure out this problem with no luck, so I''m hoping someone might be able to help me here. =) I''ve successfully installed xen 3.02 on Linux RH4 on my Sun single proc opteron v20z server. I''ve installed what I believe to be a base Linux OS on a

Hi, I am compiling Xen from source on FC9. On booting the Xen dom0 kernel it gives the following error: Volume group "VolGroup00" not found and ultimately the error that switchroot: mount failed: No such file or directory So my question is that why it fails to detect logical volumes?
