similar to: ext3 mount problem after upgrading kernel

I have just installed Redhat 7.2 on a P3 with adaptec 2400A IDE RAID. After many attempts with the partitions, I have finally managed to install but not get the following error on boot: creatig root device mounting root filesystem error mounting ext3 pivotroot:pivot_root(/sysroot,/sysroot/initrd)failed:2 freeing unused kernel memory :220k freed kernel panic: no init found. try passing init=option

Hi, I am running RH 9.0 with Grub. I just added an additional "old" drive from another system which has Win98 (fat32) and RH 7.2 (ext2) installed. However, now when I boot up, I am getting the following errors: ext3: No journal on filesystem ide3(34,7) mount: error 22 mounting ext3 pivotroot: pivot_root(/sysroot,/sysroot/initrd) failed: 2 umount /initrd/proc failed: 2 Freeing unused

I managed to install RHEL3 onto a 1GB USB key. I had to forgo using grub to get it to but, but am now using extlinux. It actually boots, but ends up panicking. Here's the console messages that should be of interest: usb.c: registered new driver hub Loading ehci-hcd.o module ehci-hcd 00:1d.7: Intel Corp. 82801EB USB2 ehci-hcd 00:1d.7: irq 23, pci mem f882b000 usb.c: new USB bus

Hi everyone, I've been running Redhat 7.2 (new install) for about 2 weeks now without any problems, but today I was not so lucky. My system hung while I was trying to configure the kernel-source RPM using 'xconfig'. After rebooting the system, it seems that my whole ext3 file system is corrupted. I get the message: Mounting root filesystem EXT3-fs: ide0(3,3):couldn't mount

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

Hello, I'm new in ext3. I installed RH7.2 with ext3. For a short time it worked properly, but when I compiled the linux kernel (2.4.9-13) from RH package, the old kernel didn't boot again (I didn't change anything with the old binary). I downloaded kernel 2.4.14 and ext3 patch for this version. After the compilation and installation I rebooted the system. I got answer something

I was hoping someone could either help me or point me in the direction of a resource. I have searched the web for any howto on repairing a failed array, but keep coming up short. I have a home file server running a RAID 5 array that now will not mount my array. I believe it is telling me there is a problem with the second drive. The basics: RedHat 8.0 kernel 2.4.20-28.8 don't know the

Hi All, I am trying to start a lxc container using libvirt and I am facing an issue due to pivot_root. The return code from the system call ?pivot_root? is EINVAL (Invalid arguments). I isolated the issue to this specific condition check within the system call. This is an code snippet from fs/namespace.c::pivot_root * error = -EINVAL; if (root.mnt->mnt_root != root.dentry)

Hi, The following set of patches is intended mostly to improve ipconfig and nfsmount compatibility with glibc. The context: I'm working on yaird, an alternative to mkinitrd, and currently implementing nfs root file systems. This is based on ipconfig and nfsmount from klibc, with a rewritten version of kinit. Users should be able to build the package with vanilla glibc, since klibc is not

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 all, i'm new in the list so i'm sorry if this i'm posting is off-topic or it was already answered before. I'm having this problem; i've got an ext3 8GB partition and it doesn't mount, the cause of this: a user (yes me!) running fsck.ext3 with the filesystem mounted, ups! (snif, forgive me!!, totally newbie and mad) errors while booting: EXT3_fs error (device hda4):

Hi Guys, While recompiling 2.4.18-14 I get kernel/module version mismatch errors from insmod at boot time and eventually resulting in a kernel panic .I'm compiling my kernel following all usual steps doing a proper make clean and make mrproper. Here are error messages I get : Loading jbd.o module /lib/jbd.o: kernel-module version mismatch /lib/jbd.o was compiled for kernel

Hello, I'm using RedHat 7.2. I needed to mount my root fs to QNX 6.1. QNX supports ext2 only but I tried that anyway. It was mounted wrong (e.g. the /root directory was symbolic link to non-existing file). When I wanted to boot from the RedHat again, these errors occured: ... Mounting root filesystem EXT3: failed to open journal device unknown-block(0,0):-19 mount: error 22 mounting ext3

Hello, I'm using RedHat 7.2. I needed to mount my root fs to QNX 6.1. QNX only support ext2 but I tried that anyway. The disk was mounted bad (for example the /root directory seemed to be symbolic link to a non-existing file). When I wanted to boot from the RedHat again, these error messages occured: ...

Hi, What is the difference between chroot & pivot_root. They don't seem obvious based on the man pages apart from the below mentioned caveats. 1) Inherited Open file descriptors, have to be explicitly closed. 2) Does not change CWD of the process, which can be overcome by doing a chdir before & after chroot call. Any information on this would be useful. Thanks,

Hi, I hope this is the right list for initramfs questions. First I noticed: with initrd I can use real-root-device and pivot_root mechanisms. with initramfs only pivot_root works. My init (or linuxrc) scripts end like this: mount -t xfs -n -o ro /dev/mapper/root /new-root umount -n /sys || true umount -n /dev || true umount -n /proc || true cd /new-root pivot_root . initrd exec chroot .

I am trying to find out where to go in regards to problem mentioned in subject line. Maybe you can offer some advice or, if not, then maybe redirect to another organization or web site. I have been installing just about every new release of the kernel that has come out for RH 7.2. I have always recompiled these to a customized version for my Tyan s1598/K6-III system. I do this so that only

A patch for a few more hiccups and trivialities in kinit.c: * The check_path() calls check for "/root" and "/old_root" - I believe that should be "/root" and "/root/old_root". * chdir("/") is recommended after pivot_root() * init_argv[0] isn't set properly to the basename pointed to by char *s - this fix also eliminates six lines of

Hi, I am using an ASUS CUV4X-E mother board with a scsi adapter Adaptec AIC-7881U, with one QUANTUM ATLAS_V_18_WLS and MAXTOR 4K040H2, ATA DISK drive connected with a VIA vt82c686a (rev 22) IDE UDMA66 controller.
