I can't seem to make a initrd that a kernel will mount.
I have read the Bootdisk-HowTo and initrd.txt and built a simple initrd using the
written
procedures. But the kernel keeps panicing when it tries to mount the root device..
Here's a snip..
RAM disk driver initialized: 16 RAM disks of 4096K size
RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0
VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem).
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 01:01
I have tried an example initrd from the net and the debian boot kernel & rootdisk
combo and
I get the same results... So I think it must be something else... perhaps a LILO
setting
issue.
Heres my lilo.conf
boot=/dev/hda
install=/boot/boot.b
map=/boot/map
vga=normal
verbose=1
image=/netboot/bzImage
root=/dev/ram
# initrd=/netboot/initdisk
initrd=/netboot/root.bin
label=Hydra
read-only
append = "disksize=1.44 console=ttyS0"
image=/boot/sysreq.bin
root=/dev/hda2
label=Linux
read-only
The "disksize" parameter is someting I got from the debian loadlin command line it
dosen't
work with or without on both debian't image and mine.
Image #2 boots fine.. so I dont think its a disk issue. (the drive is only 200megs
anyway so
there are no cylinders > 1024)
Can some one who is sucessfully using LILO and initrd send me a copy of thier LILO
config,
thier kernel and initrd so I can get a starting point to figure out whats up with my
stuff?
thanks
