I have a pretty strange system as my cooker box, so it could be due to
the complexity of the fs layout. Cooker, syncing with uio.no, updated
just about an hour ago.
Here is what the kernel says when it tries to boot (typed by hand, if I
can find my null modem cable, I'll get a raw dump) :
<snip>
RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0
Freeing initrd memory: freed 20K
VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem)
request_module: failed /sbin/modprobe -- block-major-8. error = -16
mount: error 6 mounting ext3 flags defaults
well, retrying without the option flags
mount: error 6 mounting ext3
well, retrying read-only without any flag
mount: error 6 mounting ext3
pivotroot: pivot_root(/sysroot,/sysroot/initrd) failed: 2
Freeing unused kernel memory (276K freed)
Kernel panic: No init found. Try passing init= to kernel.
Here is the lilo.conf for a working kernel and the 2.6 non-working one:
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.21-0.18mm-mdk
label=2421-018mm
root=/dev/sda2
read-only
optional
vga=788
append=" devfs=nomount debug noquiet hdc=ide-scsi acpi=on"
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.21-0.18mm-mdk.img
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.0-0.test3.1mdk
label=260-0test31
root=/dev/sda2
read-only
optional
vga=normal
append=" devfs=nomount debug noquiet hdc=ide-scsi acpi=on"
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.6.0-0.test3.1mdk.img
The initrd is present. I had to take it out of framebuffer because the
2.6 kernel just blanks the screen.
Here is the filesystem layout:

Does anybody see anything really obvious that I'm overlooking. I tend
to think that the lack of lines in /etc/modprobe.conf is probably
causing my problem.
I have not attempted any configuration changes from the default install
of the 2.6.0 test3 rpm.
