Hi, I am developing an installer for Linux Redhat 7.1 . I have copied the kernel image to the floppy using the following commands. # fdformat /dev/fd0H1440 # dd if=/boot/vmlinuz of=/dev/fd0 bs=1k I have the root file system in a primary slave harddisk. So I transfer the control to the hard disk using the rdev command as follows: # rdev /dev/hdb1 / # rdev /dev/fd0 /dev/hdb1 I have set the floppy rootflags in read mode and that of root file system in read write mode. # rdev -R /dev/fd0 0 # rdev -R /dev/hdb1 1 Now I boot from the floppy and the control gets transferred to the root file system on the hard disk. But after init gets started, I get the following errors and the system hangs:
INIT: Entering runlevel: 3 INIT: respawning too fast:disabled for 5 minutes INIT: no more processes in this runlevel. My inittab file calls the /etc/rc file in which I set the hostname. Then I spawn the mingetty process. I dont use /etc/rc.sysinit file. I will be thankful if somebody could help me out in this issue.
