Hi, >> Hmm... Are you saying here that it can't be loaded as a module, but >> instead must be compiled into the kernel? > > Whichever filesystem initrd itself uses has to be built-in (otherwise > you get the chicken-and-egg problem), but this can be e.g. cramfs; it > doesn't need to be writable, or support ownership, permissions, links, > etc. So if I get a VFS error along the lines of "VFS: Can't mount root unknown-block(9,1)" and it panics, what could the cause be? I realize this is /dev/md1, and I've built the initrd with md-mod and sata_nv, and ext3 is built in, but it's almost like it's ignoring the linuxrc in the initrd. If I chroot to it and run /bin/nash /linuxrc, it does print my echo statements. How can I debug this or capture the full output to analyze?
