Thank you for comments. Now I knew why I had the kernel panic error messages which I posted. As I said I use Redhat kernel 7.1 with Celeron 1.2 GHz, 64 MB and follow Paul Moody's miniHowto.
The system loads a linuxrc file which is in initrd.img.gz . <= in lilo.conf, root=/dev/ram and initrd=/mnt/..... The shell, "nash" which is comes from RedHat, is for loading linuxrc which is said by RedHat (i.e. man nash). And it is said for the nash to have a "mount" built-in command. All right so far, nash tries to load the linuxrc script. However, the "mount" built-in command does not mount the given device. Of course, I compiled the zcat with static flag. Thus, ramdisk file could not be copied and uncompressed into the ramdisk, /dev/ram. That's why I had the kernel panic on /dev/ram. So, I tried to use sash shell with mount from busybox but sash seems not to load linuxrc file. Are there any other way to load linuxrc file? How about bug-fixed nash? I can not get the source of the "nash.c". I need Paul Moody's way because I need to copy other files into the ramdisk just after bootting up. Here my linuxrc file. #!/bin/nash --force mount /dev/hda1 /mnt zcat /mnt/boot/ram.img.gz > /dev/ram umount /dev/hda1 Regards, Bokyun Na. -- To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the command "unsubscribe linux-embedded" in the message body.
