RE: Linux 2.6.0 initrd

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Well I just used the directions in the kernel src tree/README,
i.e
make menuconfig
make bzImage
make modules
and
make install (A few days ago out that it does copy modules to /lib/,
boot image to /boot/ as well as edit my grub.conf or am I 'fumbling'
over here)
edited grub.conf coz of redhat's 'Label'
and rebooted.

The error I get is after 'mounting root filesystem'
<error>
>>>mount: error 19 mounting ext3 <<checked out .config and I have ext3
compiled
>>>pivotroot: pivot_root(/sysroot,/sysroot/initrd) failed:2
>>>umount /initrd/proc failed:2
>>>freeing ....
>>>>kernel panic: no init found try passing init=
<error/>

How did you build a new initrd?
