Hi,
I have installed a new RH 9 box and Im trying to compile the new 2.6.9
kernel. When compiling with "make bzImage" , "make modules_install"
all goes fine. I had only a "Fatal: Cylinder...(1024>1023)..." but I
have fixed it with adding "lba32" to the lilo.conf file.
After I fixed that problem I have rebooted and got a kernel panic:
" mount: error 19 mounting ext3
pivotroot: pivotroot(/sysroot .....)...
umount /initrd/proc failed: 2
kernel panic - not syncing: No init found. Try passing init= option to
kernel. "
I have looked in my .config file (2.6.9 directory) and found that all
the CONFIG_EXT3_FS, etc are set to YES.
Is there anything else I can do?
Are you booting using initrd? If so, did you generate a new initrd for
the new kernel?
Why would he need an initrd?
ext3 is compiled in. The root filesystem is ext3, right?
The message above about the cylinders means that IDE is compiled in, or
does it come from LILO?
The fact that pivot_root is being called suggests that initrd is being
used, whether necessary or not. If that is the case, it had better be
the correct initrd.
