Currently making a boot cd on a Slackware 10.0 machine using a 2.6.16.18 kernel and mkinitrd that comes with Slackware 10.0 . I have compiled ext2, ext3, reiserfs, ram and initrd into the kernel and not as a module.
but I still keep getting this error that I have searched google for but still cannot correct it.
Error:
Code:
RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0
VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem).
Freeing unused kernel memory: 180k freed
/boot/initrd.gz: Exiting
pivot_root: pivot_root: Device or resource busy
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
I had similiar problems with it trying to mount the root system on the root device, I commented it out and those errors stopped, but this doesn't work for pivot_root, and I'm not sure if commenting out the mounting has something to do with it, I think the root device was already mounted and was returning the busy error.
Here is the linuxrc files created by mkinitrd, if someone has any ideas would greatly appreciate it
linuxrc:
