Hello-
I am following the instructions of Bernd Stahlbock on his method of booting
from a flashdisk using initrd and a ram drive. Everything works fine up
until just after the partion check on boot:
Partition check:
sda: sda1
hda: hda1
RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0
[MS-DOS FS Rel. 12.FAT 0,check=n,conv=b,uid=0,gid=0,umask=022,bmap]
[me=0x0,cs=0,#f=0,fs=0,fl=0,ds=0,de=0,data=0,se=0,ts=0,ls=0,rc=0,fc=42949672
95]
Transaction block size = 512
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 01:00
I have initrd and ramdisk support compiled into the kernel.
I've never used initrd before, so I don't know if it is working correctly.
My flashdisk is formatted as e2fs and only contains a boot directory and
initrd.img.gz. One thing I could not do in following Bernd's instructions
is to use gzip to compress my file structure image. I got errors stating
all of my devices in /dev were not 'a directory or a regular file -
ignored'. I used tar czf but I'm not sure that this will work.
Is this error a file system error? Or initrd?
