I had assumed the tarball form the squashfs-lzma site was patches. > Failing to find root may be because you're still not generating a Squashfs v3.2 > compatible filesystem.

You are right about that - but I later switched to using mksquashfs from the 3.2 tarball, and tested the squashfs file by mounting it on a 2.6.23 kernel w/o problems. > If you see the following error message after the initrd tries to mount root, you > still have an incompatible filesystem. > > SQUASHFS error: Major/Minor mismatch, trying to mount newer 3.1 filesystem > SQUASHFS error: Please update your kernel When using mksquashfs from v3.2 I did not see those errors anymore. In fact, there are no obvious errors anymore - attempting to boot we see init=/sbin/init root=CDLABEL=TEST_MINIMAL_f7_03 rootflags= rootfstype=iso9660 root_ro=1 root_rw=0 Added udev rule 00-cdlabel.rules: [some noise about udev] SCSI subsystem initialized starting udevd creating devices waiting for system to settle no root yet, udev will write symlink... waiting up to 60 seconds before dropping to emergency shell ----- WARNING: Cannot find root file system! ----- Create symlink /dev/root and then exit this shell to continue the boot sequence I don't really know where to find the squashfs/ext3 file to try to mount it. cheers, martin -- martin.langhoff@xxxxxxxxx martin@xxxxxxxxxx -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
