I've had a working desktop installation of Redhat 7.1 for about 2 years. No big problems. Yesterday it failed to boot giving the following message: /lib/8139too.o: init_module: No such device Hint: insomd errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters Error: /bin/insmod exited abnormally Mounting /proc filesystem Creating root device mount error 19 mounting ext2 pivotroot: pivot_root(/sysroot, /sysroot/initrd) failed:2 Freeing unused kernel memory: 252k freed Kernel panic: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel I can boot to "linux rescue" using the CD. I can mount the root filesystem. I've checked to make sure I have an initrd sub-directory with correct permissions. I've run fsck and the filesystem is fine. So I'm guessing it's a problem somewhere in the 8139too module. I tried to install it manually using insmod, but it failed. I tried recompiling the module from the source, but I'm not to well versed in compiling from source, so after not finding anything more specific in the archives or google, I thought I'd try the list. Any ideas on how to trace down this problem? thanks, regis -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
