Hi, Thanks for reading, I am using Debian as a distro and it usses a cramfs initrd file when it boots. Here is the output from the original initrd file and the one created by lvmcreate_initrd. 1. Orginal initrd.img-2.4.20-686: Linux Compressed ROM File System data, little endian size 2920448 version #2 sorted_dirs CRC 0x2e79d9f7, edition 0, 1565 blocks, 200 files 2. lvmcreate_initrd initrd-lvm-2.4.20-686.gz: gzip compressed data, from Unix, max compression Has some of you myth have seen in earlier posting my system wil not boot When I use the initrd I have created with lvmcreate_initrd. Here is the message: Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 3a:00 So I think the problem has to do with the fact that my kernel expects a cramfs initrd File and not a gzip compressed. Any idea's in howto solve this ?
