INITRD problem

Ellops · 04-15-2006, 05:47 AM

Hi there,

I set up initrd so I can have bootsplash, but it doesn't work...

While loading linux it says:

Code:

RAMDISK:couldn't find valid RAM disk image starting at 0

I followed Patrick's advice on /boot/README.intird, so I ran:

Code:

mkinitrd -c -k 2.6.15.5 -m reiserfs

I enabled reiserfs to load as Module
and I enabled initrd support...

(kernel 2.6.15.5)

Do you use reiserfs as root filesystem? If not, you must include your filesystem support as module other than reiserfs.

I use reiser

I use reiserfs and the generic 2.6.15.6 kernel out of slackware-current. I created an initrd.gz with

Code:

mkinitrd -c -k 2.6.15.6 -m jbd:reiserfs

in a terminal and within the folder /boot.

I added the initrd.gz to my /etc/lilo.conf and rerun lilo.

It works without prolbems.

Fluxx the first time worked, but when i reboot i got a kernel panic...

BUT, I managed to have the bootsplash without the initrd

U just compile the fs again into the kernel, but u dont make modules_install...

lame
