Hi,
Thanks for reading this message.
I have the following problem.
I am running Debian with a 2.4.18-bf2.4 kernel and installed the LVM
packages change everythink to use LVM and it works fine.
Here is an aoutput from my df -k :
/dev/vg00/root 126931 50679 69699 43% /
/dev/hda1 15522 8125 6596 56% /boot
/dev/vg00/usr 507748 278396 203138 58% /usr
/dev/vg00/var 1032088 281092 698568 29% /var
/dev/vg00/tmp 63461 17 60168 1% /tmp
/dev/vg00/home 761623 297976 432190 41% /export/home
/dev/vg00/data 4128448 2784472 1134264 72% /export/data
Now I want to do the following:
Change the kernel version to 2.4.20-686 using the package manager from debian.
This is what I did:
apt-get install kernel-image-2.4.20-686
created a new initrd image using lvmcreate_initrd 2.4.20-686
vi /etc/lilo.conf
And added the new kernel image to lilo.conf
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20-686
label=Linux-2.4.20
read-only
root=/dev/vg00/root
initrd=/boot/initrd-lvm-2.4.20-686.gz
append="ramdisk_size=8192"
I runned lilo and it installed fine.
Now when I reboot the system and try to boot the new kernel I get the following
message :
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 3a:00
Somebody have any idea on how to solve this problem ?
that the root fs is /dev/vg00/root. man rdev should help you finding the accurate syntax. By the way I thought the problem was due to grub (since
I'm using grub instead of lilo), but it seems that's not the reason.
Fred.
