RE: [leaf-user] Bering bootable cd (Help)
Kim, have you read my documentation on how to boot Bering from a CDROM?

It will require some more tweaking though. In the end my problem had nothing to do with the modules (although isofs.o is still failing during boot). My problem was that I tried to boot from /dev/cdrom which doesn't exist. I tried to create it afterwards backup root initrd but that didn't help.

[leaf-user] Bering bootable cd (Help)
Hi all, I am trying to create a bering bootable cd, but can't quite get it to work. I must admit that I created my own kernel which probably doesn't make life easier. I created the initrd.lrp myself and have done everything in the users manual to create the cd. So far, I managed to get the cd to boot, but I am still having to problems. When loading the ide-probe-mod module I get a message stating that ide0 ide1 are already busy that probe is as a result skipped. (this could be because I compiled quite some idestuff in the kernel) Btw the new kernel was necessary to boot from flashmodule from apacer which is an idedrive. At the end of /boot/etc/modules isofs.o is trying to load. I said trying, because it is failing stating insmod: init_modules isofs.o device or resource busy Afterwards I get the tempfs linuxrc Installing packages : (all my packages are the (nf!) or not found I get a kernel panic stating that I tried to kill init. If I use all the same .lrp files kernel on the flash module everything runs fine except for the above mentioned ide-probe isofs problem. Which isn't a real concern when booting from the module. Any help greatly appreciated. Kim ___ Have big pipes? SourceForge.net is looking for download mirrors. We supply the hardware. You get the recognition.
