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 Is there a skeleton for an initramfs, like mkinitrd do for an initrd? An archive where all I could need for my initramfs could be present, with a shell script ready to fill in with my work to be done. Thanks Eurolines : Voyagez au meilleur prix : http://www.alinto.com/pub/

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

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 *

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

Hi I am looking at inserting functions in the early user space and want to use initramfs for this. I understand this can be achieved using 'initrd' or by making changes in the 'usr/gen_init_cpio.c' file. Can someone kindly give me pointers as to how to go about this. I am looking at the 2.6.x kernel. Thanks Rachita.

I'm not sure when exactly this started, but currently when I specify a ramfs image via the initrd line in grub, kinit picks it up as an initrd and tries (and fails) to unpack it and run linuxrc from it. I'm assuming this is not the intended behavior. Can anyone point me into the proper direction for unpacking an initramfs image ontop of the in-kernel image? Currently, I am using kernel

Dear All, I have a following query: - My initrd image is created using ext2 filesystem. - The filesystem type of / is specified as ext3 in /etc/fstab file. - I dont mount the real root during execution of linuxrc because I referred some documents saying that if you dont mount real root from linuxrc the kernel will mount it after linuxrc is finished. - The system boots up successfully, mount

Hi, I 'am trying to launch linux kernel 2.6.7 with initramfs. My pxelinux.cfg/default file looks as follows: default a1 prompt 1 timeout 600 label a1 kernel vmlinuz-2.6.7-1 append initrd=initramfs_data.cpio.gz root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc Kernel image vmlinuz-2.6.7-1 and initramfs_data.cpio.gz was loaded succesfully by pxelinux. Kernel says: checking if image is initramfs... it is but

Hi I am an engineer who is making communication systems. I have a board(made by Kontron ltd, Intel CPU, currently with diskless ) that is used in compactPCI. I boot that board with network PXELINUX method and currently using NFS. But I don't want to use NFS and I want to make and use ram disk image. That means I want to use a ram disk as /. Currently I made a initrd by ltsp_initrd_kit. What

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.

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

Hello syslinux Mailinglist ;) I'm new to this mailing list, the RIP Readme brought me here. I'm quite new to syslinux/pxelinux and im trying to set up some kind of minimal linux which is bootable via lan. I found the http://www.tux.org/pub/people/kent-robotti/looplinux/rip/ project, and what I read in the readme it will fit my needs. Basic infos: Host System running gentoo,

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
