Hi, I'm trying to use the above mentioned computers as thin clients in a working ltsp4 setup. Hardware configuration for the digital celebris GL5133: P133 CPU, 512k cache, 64M ram (simm), fast scsi quantum 1.2G disk, fast scsi Plextor 6x cdrom, floppy, onboard matrox video, onboard tulip NIC. I have removed the disk, cdrom, scsi controller, disabled onboard NIC and added an intel eepro100 card, PXE enabled, which works just fine in other machines on that LTSP setup. The problem is that the machine hangs right after the pivot_root. I'm using the 2.4.24-ltsp-4 kernel (which by the way is the only ltsp kernel that even boots on that machine). I've tried some custom compiled kernels, and got the same results. What I get is something like: ---- Doing the pivot_root Mounting the devfs filesystem Running /sbin/init Usage: init 0123456SsQqAaBbCcUu VFS: mounted root (ext2 filesystem). Trying to move old_root to /initrd ... failed Unmounting old root Trying to free ramdisk memory ... failed Mounted devfs on /dev Freeing unused kernel memory: 240k freed /bin/sh: Can't open auto Kernel panic: attempted to kill init! ----
From the "Usage: init 0123456SsQqAaBbCcUu" line I understand that it's trying to run the wrong init, the one from initrd, and not the one from the nfs root. However, it mounts the root filesystem, but for some strange reason it cannot do the pivot_root corectly. Anyone have any ideas? We really don't know what to do next.
