[expert] Kernel panic: No init found
Creating root device Mounting root filesystem EXT2-fs: ide0(3,7): couldn't mount because of unsupported optional features (4). mount: error 22 mounting ext2 flags Mounted devfs on /dev Freeing unused kernel memory: 136k freed Kernel panic: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel What does the 3 in ide0(3,7) mean? I'm assuming the 7 corresponds to /dev/hda7, which is my root partition. What additional features is it referring to? What is error 22? I got the same response trying to boot from boot floppy. Afterwards, I booted the hd.img floppy, and typed in rescue. The installer seemed to start, but then I had a menu to pick what to do. Menu choices were: Re-install boot loader (not the apparent problem) Restore windoze boot loader (not applicable) Mount your partitions under /mnt Go to console Reboot Doc: what's addressed by this Rescue? I read the last, as well as http://www.mandrakeuser.org/docs/admin/arecov.html, then chose 'Go to console'. I ran fsck.ext2 on all relevant partitions, then nosed around, finding apparently nothing at all wrong. So, I rebooted, and everything is normal again. What happened? Background: System was solid for several years. Monday for some reason, the / partition got irretrievably corrupted. I took the opportunity to install 9.1 fresh, and to select ext3 instead of ext2 for it. It worked fine all day yesterday after installing on Monday. Today I decided to move files from several partitions on hda to one partition on sdb. One source partition is/was vfat (fat32), while all others are/were ext2 or ext3. When copying one iso from the source to the target, I got a segmentation fault, something I'd never experienced on any machine running any Linux. I rebooted, then tried the same procedure, and got the same fault. So, next I booted RedHat 7.3 instead, and tried yet again to copy that one iso from the vfat partition. Again I got a segfault. So, since it was pretty likely some hardware problem, I thought and realized I was running overclocked, an 83MHz bus speed on a board certified only to 66. I changed the jumpers to bring it back to 66MHz, and it's been behaving ever since. -- ...[B]e quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry James 1:19 NIV Team OS/2 ** Reg.

Hi All, Running Mandrake 8.2 kernel 2.4.18-6mdk default installation. I wanted to add support for lkcd (Linux Kernel Crash Dump), so i downloaded from kernels.org the 2.4.18 kernel. 1. Patched the kernel with lkcd patch. 2. I copied /boot/configs from current configuration to /usr/src/linux/.configs in the hope of having same config as current running kernel. 3. Ran make xconfig, and enabled lkcd under kernel Hacking, including lkcd gzip compression. Save, exit. 4. Ran make dep. Then ran make bzImage. Moved bzImage to /boot/mylkcdknl 5. Added /boot/mylkcdknl to lilo.conf, and ran lilo. (copy of lilo entry below) 6. Reboot, tried to boot new kernel, FAILS!! Last messages:: Error 19 mounting reiserfs Kernel Panic: No init found. All i added was lkcd support to new kernel, otherwise it should be exactly same as original, right? Any ideas on getting this new kernel to work are welcomed. _Thanks Richard Mollel ***Lilo.conf Entry*** image=/boot/vmlinuz label=linux-nonfb root=/dev/hda1 initrd=/boot/initrd.img append=devfs=mount hdd=ide-scsi read-only image=/boot/mylkcdknl label=mylkcdknl root=/dev/hda1 initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.18-6mdk.img append=devfs=mount hdd=ide-scsi read-only = __ Do you Yahoo!?

Hi Richard, You might try to check all of the symlinks in /boot and rebuilding the image with `mkinitrd /boot/init-2.4.18-6mdk.img 2.4.18-6mdk`.

If you copy /boot/config to /usr/src/linux/.config instead of from configs to .configs like you specified in your OP. also, the make install script of the kernel compilation process makes an initrd, so you might try uding that to copy your kernel to the /boot directory. It seems like you also forgot to make your modules with make modules and make modules_install. - -- Greg -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+SqTQwDpHP6GALAARAuNJAKCYbKJxyZb30DvxikP+IlCVvwoybwCgmICx kMwtrImdUHJh8OwR93Wk5Mw= =33o9 -END PGP SIGNATURE- Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
