/sbin/init problems with initrd-boot SOLVED
Hello,
I have to use an initrd because I've to load the module for my RAID-Controller. So I wrote my own initrd with an ext2 fs, copied the module and necessary Programs and now booting with the following testing /linuxrc:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
/bin/insmod /hpt374.ko
exec /bin/sh
After getting the shell do:
Code:
/bin/mount -o ro /dev/sda3 /new-root
cd new-root
/bin/pivot_root . initrd
exec chroot . /bin/sh
So, my last shell should have PID 1. If I now do
I get:
Code:
Usage: init 0123456SsQqAaBbCcUu
VFS: Cannot open root device "sda3" or unknown-block(0,0)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)
So what is wrong? My kernel options are "root=/dev/sda3" which is the correct root... I think the problem is that /sbin/init does not execute the initial-steps (Usage: "init 0123456SsQqAaBbCcUu") - I also tried "exec /sbin/init s" (although I don't really know for what s,q,a,b,c oder u stand...) - then it complains that /dev/initctl does not exist...
My grub.conf (menu.lst) is like this:
Code:
default 0
timeout 10
title=Gentoo Linux 2.6.9
root (hd0,2)
kernel (hd0,2)/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.9 root=/dev/sda3
initrd (hd0,2)/boot/initrd-2.6.9
So thanks for any hints - I tried the last 6 hours to get the initrd working!! :-(( |
