booting new kernel.
Booting new kernel dies with INIT: VFS issue, really
problem occurs with booting new kernel.
dies with INIT: kernel panic no init found (try passing init= to kernel) I think the real issue is this: VFS: mounting root ( ext2 filesystem ) ro this is wrong, root is a reiserfs filesystem '/boot' is ext2. ( the default kernel sees this correctly ( VFS: mounting root (resierfs filesystem) ro ) I can always select default kernel (2.4.20) at lilo prompt and boot ok. So i know the filesystem, etc, is ok. cat /etc/fstab #### # I am including this so you know, but this is not in fstab, # does not get mounted, I thought this was part of the problem, # like if i add a new kernel, i'm putting in on '/boot' which is actually # on dev/hda2 because the real '/boot' is not mounted, however # the system seems to know where real boot is, if i do a make install # with the kernel the image get's moved to /dev/hda1 '/boot' properly. ###/dev/hda1 /boot ext2 defaults 0 0 /dev/hda2 / reiserfs defaults 1 1 /dev/hda5 /usr reiserfs defaults 1 2 /dev/hda6 /var reiserfs defaults 1 2 /dev/hda7 /home reiserfs defaults 1 2 /dev/hda8 /tmp reiserfs defaults 1 2 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,user,ro 0 0 /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,owner 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 yes, kernel compiled with ext2 ext3 reiserfs ide, support (not as modules) etc. I have made sure my core tools are up to date for 2.6.*, i believe i got them all. gcc, make, binutils, etc. gcc version 3.2.2 GNU Make 3.80 GNU ld version 2.13.90.0.18 20030121 etc,... thank you for all you help. -c.mustard |
