Hello all
I am pulling my hair trying to get Debian Woody to boot with an initrd
image. I have compiled the kernel 2.4.18 with Loopback device support, RAM
disk support , 8192KB, and initrd (all compiled into the kernel). I am able
to run mkinird just fine 'mkinird 2.4.18-12 -o /initrd-2.4.18-12.img'. The
system boots just fine with the first entry in lilo (below) but when I
select 'Linux-initrd' the system is able to create the ramdrive:
RAMDISK: cramfs filesystem found at block0
RAMDISK: Loading 788 blocks [1 disk] into ram disk... done
Freeing initrd memory: 788k freed
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 01:00
Here is a snippet of lilo.conf
default=Linux
image=/vmlinuz
label=Linux
read-only
image=/vmlinuz
label=Linux-initrd
initrd=/inird-2.4.18-12.img
append="root=/dev/ram0"
# read-only
# restricted
# alias=1
I'm sure there's some simple step that I'm missing and I sure would
appreciate any help.
Thanks,
Jim
