[syslinux] customizing initrd - kernel panic while booting
Hi, I want to customize initrd so that I can run my application once vmlinuz loads initrd. (similar to dos booting - dos runs autoexec.bat) I copied vmlinuz & initrd from RHEL4 ISO. Mounted initrd renamed 'linuxrc' exe to linuxrc1 created new script linuxrc called linuxrc1 from linuxrc script called my application from linuxrc script. But I receive "kernel panic" error: EXT2-fs: unable to read superblock isofs_fill_super: bread failed. dev=md1. iso_blknum=16. block=32 Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown block(9,1) I also tried creating initrd from scratch using link: http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-initrd.html I still receive similar error. Can someone please guide me or point me at appropriate url. Im here trying to create customize initrd for recovery purpose. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
