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> [version] Options: -d confdir Specify an alternative configuration directory.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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, switch root, done. Integration is not an issue. That changes when more of the

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 do guesswork. Thanks to: Cédric Bosdonnat, for reporting the issue, and testing the fix. ---

I''ve compiled xen without any problems. but now i have to create an initrd file. When i use the command mkinitrd (without any options) the i''ve got some errors: # mkinitrd Root device: /dev/sda3 (mounted on / as reiserfs) Module list: ata_piix mptbase mptscsih qla2300 reiserfs Kernel image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.11.12-xen0 Initrd image: /boot/initrd-2.6.11.12-xen0 Shared

mkinitrd needs to mount files using loop. loop might be a module, so try to load it first. --- lib/Sys/VirtV2V/GuestOS/RedHat.pm | 7 +++++++ 1 files changed, 7 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) diff --git a/lib/Sys/VirtV2V/GuestOS/RedHat.pm b/lib/Sys/VirtV2V/GuestOS/RedHat.pm index 0e469f5..08027b6 100644 --- a/lib/Sys/VirtV2V/GuestOS/RedHat.pm +++ b/lib/Sys/VirtV2V/GuestOS/RedHat.pm @@ -1114,6

I'm trying to install CentOS 2.1 on SATA drive that lives on ICH7R controller. I have the controller setup in BIOS to "compatibility" mode, which means it should look just like regular IDE controller to the OS. In this mode, ide0 and ide1 are PATA controllers, and 4 SATA ports are mapped to ide2 and ide3. If I boot from the 2.1 installation CD, all the drives are detected

Dear All, I have one VG with one LV inside consist of four disk (and four PV) somehow the UUID is changed.

Hi all! I'm new to this list. I wanted to have an opinion of the situation i'm facing now (i'm no expert in LVM). Last week, i had to re-install a system which had a system hard drive crash (it was clunking before it definitely died!). It was running on SuSE 9.0 before. I just finished to install a fresh copy of CentOS 4.4 on a new hard disk. I want to know if it's possible
