Hello everyone,
I am booting RH over network (PXE) with custom initrd.img. I managed to get NFS working and switch root and do normal RH /sbin/init, but as RH boots it complains about /proc/devices missing:
/proc/devices: fopen failed: No such file or directory
The file is indeed missing, even though I'm doing "modprobe dm_mod" before. But still /proc/devices is not created. What am I doing wrong?
init script for that initrd.img:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/kerberos/lib
