Make sure that reiserFS is a module and not compiled into the kernel, cos it
breaks otherwise.

Subject: [Cooker] kernel panic / initrd?


Hello cooker,
I've just installed kernel 2.2.16-7mdk by rpm and upon reboot, I get
kernel panic after a long line of messages concerning the reiserfs.  I
remember having to do 'make initrd' with the kernel rpms a couple of
months back, but I've forgotten the syntax and method for doing this. 
Two questions: why isn't this done when the RPMS are installed, and if
you don't mind, could you please refresh my memory how to do this?

Thanks much, Mike

RE: [Cooker] kernel panic / initrd?

 Hello cooker,
   I've just installed kernel 2.2.16-7mdk by rpm and upon reboot, I get
 kernel panic after a long line of messages concerning the reiserfs.  I
 remember having to do 'make initrd' with the kernel rpms a couple of
 months back, but I've forgotten the syntax and method for doing this.


usage: mkinitrd [--version] [-v] [-f] [--ifneeded] [--preload module]
   [--omit-scsi-modules] [--with module] [--image-version]
initrd-image
   kernel
   (ex: mkinitrd /boot/initrd 2.0.3)
[glee@anakin glee]$





for now, if you don't have a backup kernel, do

linux init=/bin/sh at lilo



 Two questions: why isn't this done when the RPMS are installed, and if
 you don't mind, could you please refresh my memory how to do this?

 Thanks much, Mike

oh hang on ...if you can't mount root because of missing initrd looks like
init= won't save you either.

It's ok, I've got a boot disk - I can still get in.  I've rebooted the
machine now though, and it looks as if I've lost sound.  It's a box
mostly for testing, so I can just reinstall from the cd.  It does seem
strange though, that the install of the RPMS wouldn't take care of that
- that is the point of having a pre-made package.  Anyway, thanks for
the info!  Mike
