Hi, I''ve installed xen-2.0.5 from source on gentoo, but the xen dom0 kernel doesn''t find the root device: ############################# snip ###################################### Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block (3,3) ############################# snap ###################################### grub.conf: ############################# snip

Hi, I am a newbie into kernel booting process. I have read few things about boot process of the linux kernel. I am stuck at few things, which I am confident, someone from the list might help on - - If I pass a ramfs image as an intrd paramter from the bootloader (say grub), then will the kernel treat this as a ramfs image only? - initrd image is also, packed using cpio archive, then

Hi 1. Is it possible to load an initrd from initramfs ? How would you do this if the initramfs is being loaded dynamically in the kernel (ie having the initramfs as initrd ) Because in this case, you will say root = /dev/initrd and specify 'initrd' as your 'initramfs source file' How will you specify the second initrd source? Thanks Rachita.

I am trying to install the binary version of xen 3.1. When I boot, after some console output, I get the following: :: Loading Initramfs scsi_mod: no version for "struct_module" found: kernel tainted.

In v1.0 .. v1.1 deliver was writing incoming >128k mail to /tmp file (to avoid reading it all into memory). In v1.2 I moved it to user's home directory. This slowed deliveries for NFS users. Also people with filesystem quota had trouble since now user required twice as much available quota to save a message. The FS quota problem was "solved" by having quota-fs plugin change the

Has anyone ever mounted their /var/lib/mysql on a tmpfs or ramfs? Are there any performance gains to be made doing this? TIA

"to memory" means: mounting a ~2 GByte filesystem [ tmpfs?, or ramfs? ], and put the "/tmp" on it. [ e.g.: 4 GByte ram in the pc ]. what to write in the "/etc/fstab"? I would like to collect the [ answers too:P ]: Advantages: - Memory is way faster then HDD/SSD, so it could speed things up - "SSD amortization" is less Disadvantages: - Security?

Please be aware that I HAVE NOT TESTED THIS PROGRAM... please try it in a "safe" environment since for all I know it could nuke your "real root" by mistake. -hpa

Hi, Here's a try at writing an initramfs HOWTO. This is basically a write-up of a number of interesting emails I collected over time. It could probably use an editor, more fact-checking and a bunch of other good things, but it should be better than nothing ;-) Daniel -------------- next part -------------- INITRAMFS HOWTO 0) What are klibc and initramfs? Initramfs is a ramfs into which

Hello, I was using a bunch of cpios in initramfs as a working system, and wondering why the unused files weren't being paged out to swap. So I reread ramfs-rootfs-initramfs.txt and now I know. So I wrote the attached utility. It creates a tmpfs, moves all files on the initramfs, moves / and executes the real init. It works, even with hardlinks, but it isn't the correct approach. Have

dovecot-1.2.7 If /var/run/dovecot does not exist when dovecot starts up (e.g. required when /var/run is a tmpfs/ramfs), it creates it. But it creates it with the wrong file mode -- the directory is mode 777. Being world writable means any user could change the name of any file within the directory, including the login directory, and then create their own new login directory. Or remove the pid

Harcoding default content of initramfs in the gen_initramfs_list.sh script seems ackward. Move it to a file named: usr/initramfs.default This also fixes a small bug when no arguments was passed to CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE (-d was passed twice to the script) Idea and bug report from: "H.

Generate dependencies almost like done by fixdep in the kernel. This teaches make to rebuild cpio image when content has changed. Also restructured usr/Kbuild a little so we better utilise parallel makes (dash, gzip, utils and kinit are now build in parallel).

Hey all, I've downloaded the latest CentOS 5.0 and the md5sums look good. I loop-back mounted the ISOs and pulled all of the RPMs out into a single dir. I have an existing PXE environment with several different distros to which I added 5.0. RPMs are served from my HTTPS server. I used the isolinux.cfg that was provided and all *looks* good. The problem is that on 4 *very* different
