Hi, No no no, the disk. The initrd is ext2. Tried changing the disk to ext2 and still get the same results. This did work, but is not what I need. 1. Etherboot the filo.elf (4.2) as a payload 2. Run the filo.elf 3. It is able to load my kernel initrd.elf, only off of the hd, not the usb stick. Arg! My setup uses etherboot as a primary to get the kernel intird as an elf. But if that connection dies I want it to use the kernel initrd elf on my usb stick. This first part works just fine. It is finding a way to get the second part that is taking me weeks!

RE: Filo Error Help
Here are the results: I took my known working hard drive and stuck it in the device to test with filo. The results were the same! Meaning a known working kernel intird on my hard drive failed at the initrd portion, again with the crc error. I'm now going to try a basic etherboot test without filo to see if I can read off of the hard drive, just as a baseline. Any other ideas would be appreciated.

This exact same elf boots up fine with etherboot. In fact I have etherboot-filo configured to boot off of the net and it grabs this elf and boots the system well. But when I use USB and this same elf, it gets a crc error during the initrd portion. It loads the kernel fine though.

Your self consists of a kernel and initrd correct? Made with Eric's mkelfImage2-5? On Thu, 2004-07-08 at 17:49, YhLu wrote: I could send you my elf, but it is about 6Mb.

RE: Filo Error Help
Looks more like a Linux config problem. Double check your /etc/fstab and make sure the root partition entry is correct and that you have virtual terminal (VT) support enabled in your kernel.
