-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Ok, I've been steadily migrating all my data to a raid array. I have everything running under raid5+lvm2, except for my root partition, which is 1GB and running raid1 (no lvm).
On the root partition are: bin, sbin, lib32, lib64, root, etc I think that should be all that is needed to boot the system and mount /usr, /var, and everything else. Actually, I know it is, since I can boot just fine with only those directories actually on my old root. The system boots just fine with the root partition on a non-md device (my old root). When I try to boot with root=/dev/md2, however, I get a panic right after the freeing memory message. The error is unable to open initial console. I was wondering if for some reason it couldn't find init, so I explicitly stated init=/sbin/init - no effect. Then I tried setting init=/bin/bash to see if I could at least get a shell - that gave me a not syncing (attempted to kill init) panic. Am I missing something obvious? I do see on the console that it is building the /dev/md2 array. Also, I get the "VFS: Mounted root (ext3 filesystem) readonly." message, so it obviously is looking at the root filesystem. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGhwxaG4/rWKZmVWkRAlhPAKCkL5DwqLXKYEu1Y3501E9KgdiF+wCeOrG3 EP+wXjLm30HyVYh7ceK5t08= =hkvO -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
