This is a message from the old mkinitrd, which is obsolete starting with the 2.6.17 kernel. This means that bugs in mkintrd won't be fixed. > I tried to modify mkinitrd by adding some modules > (sg,sr_mod,sd_mod,libata,scsi_mod) but always got the same result. > > Then, I tried an FTP install and boot with the kernel26fallback but > get stuck with a kernel panic (cannot open root device dev (0,0))... If you do an ftp install, then add 'kernel26.img' instead of 'initrd26.img' in your menu.lst (or 'kernel26-fallback.img' instead of 'initrd26-full.img'). You will be using the new initramfs images then and shouldn't run into trouble like above. (FYI, starting with 2.6.18, Arch will only provide these new images, as mkinitrd has been obsoleted) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFE4vyZEda5KzHP/VARAr/NAJ93DFCh5RIh3UU9eV3cXHXpwlVKPgCfbCc/ sCh5Yj3GIigfFDiwmfvOiBY= =qCmq -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ arch mailing list [email protected] http://www.archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch
