Re: Root: mkinitrd ... Permission denied. (?)

[...] "VFS: Cannot open root device "hdb5" or unknown-block (0,0) Please append a correct "root= " boot option Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown block (0,0)" Googling around has suggested that 2.6.5 has changed the parsing of the "root= " boot argument. No, there is no change in root argument. Of course you can define your partitions on different ways. Are you sure that your root device is hdb5 and maybe not hda5?

Help! mkinitrd does not work correct in Sarge anymore?!
Hello, I have a big problem. The initrds my installation builds with mkinitrd doesn't work on boot. It doesn't matter which kernel I use. I alway see this message at boot: pivot_root: no such file or directory /sbin/init: 347: cannot open dev/console : no such file Kernel panic: Attempted to kill init ! On another machine with Sid installed there has been no problem. So I copied an initrd from Sid machine to Sarge machine and Sarge can boot. I thought: Maybe a bug which is corrected in Sid and installed initrd-tools, util-linux, e2fsprogs, e2fslibs from Sid in my Sarge. But that would be too simple. Can anyone give me a few tips?

Yesterday I looked at ftp.debian.org in directory debian-archive but there was no Potato directory. Only the older releases up to Slink. That there is a new server at archive.debian.org is new to me.

So I have installed just a Debian woody base with /boot ext2 16 MB swap /root reiserfs 200 MB I have added the LVM utilities and created the LVM partitions after having a running base system. Then I've mounted the lvs to mountpoints like /mnt/usr, /mnt/var, /mnt/tmp, ... next I've done a cp -aR /usr/* /mnt/usr/ and so on. next I've deleted the contents from /usr with rm -rf /usr/* and mounted usr_lv to mountpoint /usr. After doing this for all lvs and updating /etc/fstab I am ready to continue installation with package selection. Perhaps there are Debian boot floppy images with LVM support and anyone will tell us where to find them?! bye -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
