Hi list,
I'm tired with my problem and I hope someone can help... the problem is:
I have my / partition on /dev/sda1, including /boot. But 2 days ago
when I did the gentoo instalation I put it on a wrong disk. /
partition must be /dev/sdb2, that is connected to a SCSI controler
different than /dev/sda, that is connected in another one. Well, when
I had / on /dev/sda1 I setup lilo.conf and everything works fine:
image=/boot/kernel-genkernel-x86_64-2.6.16-gentoo-r7
label = Gentoo
read-only # read-only for checking
root=/dev/ram0
append="doscsi init=/linuxrc ramdisk=8192 real_root=/dev/sda1 udev"
initrd=/boot/initramfs-genkernel-x86_64-2.6.16-gentoo-r7
But as I said (due to my company rules) I have to put / partition on
/dev/sdb2. So, I boot from gentoo livecd and copy the entire /dev/sda1
data to /dev/sdb2. After this I change the lilo.conf as follows:
image=/boot/kernel-genkernel-x86_64-2.6.16-gentoo-r7
label = Gentoo
read-only # read-only for checking
root=/dev/ram0
append="doscsi init=/linuxrc ramdisk=8192 real_root=/dev/sdb2 udev"
initrd=/boot/initramfs-genkernel-x86_64-2.6.16-gentoo-r7
But, when I boot the computer I got the following message:
Mounting root...
mkdir: Cannot create directory '/newroot/tmp':Read-only file system
mkdir: //newroot/dev/console: No such file or directory
mknod: //newroot/dev/tty1: No such file or directory
Booting (initramfs)......
chroot: cannot execute /bin/sh: No such file or directory
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
I put Adaptec AARAID module *build in* in the kernel, without it the
/dev/sdb2 is not recognized. I generated the kernel using genkernel
--menuconfig all.
Any clue?
Thank you very much.
Leandro.
