Kernel panic - not syncing: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel. Hi List, facing following problem: running Xen on Debian sarge I tried to create a domU with Fedora. As I learned debootstrap is not available for Fedora I found rpmstrap. Well, new to Debian and never seen Fedora (that''s why I would like to get familiar with XEN) I followed some instructions found on the web. dd if=/dev/zero of=fedora.img bs=1M count=1 seek=1024 /sbin/mke2fs -F -j fedora.img mount -o loop fedora.img /mnt for i in console null zero ; do /sbin/MAKEDEV -d /mnt/fedora/dev -x $i ; done what lead me to my first problem: /sbin/MAKEDEV: don''t know how to make device "/mnt/fedora/dev" /sbin/MAKEDEV: don''t know how to make device "/mnt/fedora/dev" /sbin/MAKEDEV: don''t know how to make device "/mnt/fedora/dev" OK - what''s wrong? any idea? However - I proceeded with rpmstrap --verbose heidelberg /mnt/fedora/ and got rpmdb: unable to initialize mutex: Function not implemented rpmdb: /mnt/fedora/var/lib/rpm/__db.001: unable to initialize environment lock: Function not implemented error: db4 error(38) from dbenv->open: Function not implemented rpm: To install rpm packages on Debian systems, use alien. See README.Debian. error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - Function not implemented (38) error: cannot open Packages database in /mnt/fedora/var/lib/rpm warning: setup-2.5.36-1.noarch.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 4f2a6fd2 rpmdb: unable to initialize mutex: Function not implemented rpmdb: /mnt/fedora/var/lib/rpm/__db.001: unable to initialize environment lock: Function not implemented error: db4 error(38) from dbenv->open: Function not implemented error: cannot open Packages database in /mnt/fedora/var/lib/rpm rpmstrap: critical error: command "rpm --install --root /mnt/fedora setup-2.5.36-1.noarch.rpm" failed so... Maybe I''m just on the wrong track or missed some debian packages to install. But I''m pretty sue here a people around having installed Fedora on a Debian dom0 without any probs. Maybe there''s a little howto for me. thanx in advance Mat _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
