After I installed bering1.2 on /dev/hda1 of an disk-on-chip IDE, I whant to release the ram used by the root device in /dev/ram0. I copied the hole root into /dev/hda2 and made a new initrd2.lrp where I added pertinent fs and included some code in linuxrc to mount the new root. Then I added an option in syslinux.cfg where root=/dev/hda2 ant intird=initrd2.lrp.
Unfortunatly init complains: USAGE: init 0123456SsQqAaBbCcUu cannot open root device "hda2" or "03:02" Please append correct "root=" boot option Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 03:02 I put a sh -i in linuxrc just befor exec /sbin/init and found aparently all OK. I got from mount rootfs on / type rootfs (rw) /dev/root.old on /initrd type minix (rw) /dev/hda2 on / type ext3 (rw) /proc on /proc type proc (rw) tmpfs on /tmp type tmpfs (rw) tmpfs on /var/log type tmpfs (rw) I also check /proc/cmdline where root=/dev/hda2 Is there any way to install to put the root in /dev/hda2 and free up the ram used normaly by /dev/ram0 ? Any help how to correct things so that /sbin/init doesn't complains ? I doesn't understand why init is complaining about mounting root if it is allready mounted and working ?
