Creating root device Mounting root filesystem EXT2-fs: ide0(3,7): couldn't mount because of unsupported optional features (4). mount: error 22 mounting ext2 flags Mounted devfs on /dev Freeing unused kernel memory: 136k freed Kernel panic: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel
What does the "3" in "ide0(3,7)" mean? I'm assuming the 7 corresponds to /dev/hda7, which is my root partition. What "additional features" is it referring to? What is error 22? I got the same response trying to boot from boot floppy. Afterwards, I booted the hd.img floppy, and typed in rescue. The installer seemed to start, but then I had a menu to pick what to do. Menu choices were: Re-install boot loader (not the apparent problem) Restore windoze boot loader (not applicable) Mount your partitions under /mnt Go to console Reboot Doc: what's addressed by this Rescue? I read the last, as well as http://www.mandrakeuser.org/docs/admin/arecov.html, then chose 'Go to console'. I ran fsck.ext2 on all relevant partitions, then nosed around, finding apparently nothing at all wrong. So, I rebooted, and everything is normal again. What happened? Background: System was solid for several years. Monday for some reason, the / partition got irretrievably corrupted. I took the opportunity to install 9.1 fresh, and to select ext3 instead of ext2 for it. It worked fine all day yesterday after installing on Monday. Today I decided to move files from several partitions on hda to one partition on sdb. One source partition is/was vfat (fat32), while all others are/were ext2 or ext3. When copying one iso from the source to the target, I got a segmentation fault, something I'd never experienced on any machine running any Linux. I rebooted, then tried the same procedure, and got the same fault. So, next I booted RedHat 7.3 instead, and tried yet again to copy that one iso from the vfat partition. Again I got a segfault. So, since it was pretty likely some hardware problem, I thought and realized I was running overclocked, an 83MHz bus speed on a board certified only to 66. I changed the jumpers to bring it back to 66MHz, and it's been behaving ever since. -- "...[B]e quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry...." James 1:19 NIV Team OS/2 ** Reg.
