Hi...
Sorry for intruding, but I was having problem with booting a new kernel
too and I think that was what had got the thread started. It would be
great if somebody could diagnose my problem here. I was running a RH9
distro (2.4.20) and tried to compile a clean version of the kernel
(2.4.20) to customize it. But after following all the steps, I get the
follwoing error when I attempt to boot with it. ( I can still get to my
old kernel, thankfully :) )
......
VFS : mounted root (ext3 filesystem) read-only
Freeing unused kernel memory 104k freed
Warning : unable to open initial console
Kernel panic : No init found
Try passing init= option to kernel
.......
Heres what my lilo.conf looks like :
......
prompt
timeout=50
default=Windows98(hda1)
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
message=/boot/message
lba32
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20-ph
label=2.4.20-ph
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.20-ph.img
read-only
append="hdc=ide-scsi root=/dev/hda3"
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20-8
label=redhat(hda3)
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.20-8.img
read-only
append="hdc=ide-scsi root=/dev/hda3"
other=/dev/hda1
optional
............
I am temtpted to recompile and reinstall the kernel, but would like
to know, what did I do wrong the first tiem around, so that I dont repeat
it again :)
Thanks for your time,
Ashish.
