Hi guys, Me and my guys have inherited a webserver running Debian 3.3.5 and bacula doing remote backups (the webserver is a bacula client). The previous admin left very little in the way of documentation so that is one of our first tasks.
Along those line, we want to be able to do a bare metal restore of the webserver to another machine. So be the good little geeks that we are, we RTFBM and followed the procedure to create the Bacula CDs. The problem we are experiencing is a kernel panic when booting off the CD, the specific message is "unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(3,1)". Now, this tells me a couple of things: 1. Bacula is trying to mount a file system from the first partition of the first hard drive. Why? For all intents and purposes, it looks like a pivotroot is being executed, but I checked the linuxrc script and there is no pivotroot. I tried 'linux root=/dev/root' and got the same kernel panic on unknown-block(0,0). 2. The Bacula CD can't find a fs module to load. While the module in question (ext3) may not be built into the kernel, it is in the initrd image that gets loaded. So why isn't it being found? Any suggestions on how to get these CDs to boot? -- Regards, Faber Fedor President Linux New Jersey, Inc. 908-320-0357 800-706-0701 http://www.linuxnj.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
