Case history:
I rpm -e kernel-2.4.19.17mdk
delete 2419-17 entry in lilo and run lilo
rpm -Uvh mkinitrd-3.1.6-33mdk.i586.rpm
rpm -ivh kernel-2.4.19.17mdk
installs without error
verify entries in /boot and lilo and run lilo
Reboot and select 2419-17
Kernel panic: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel
Reboot with working kernel
delete file /boot/initrd-2.4.19-17mdk.img
run /sbin/mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.4.19-17mdk.img 2.4.19-17mdk
no errors or warnings
run lilo
Reboot and select 2419-17
Kernel panic: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel
Boot sequence leading to panic:
Mounting root filesystem with flag notail
mount: missing device
ERROR: failed in exec of auto
ERROR: auto exited abnormally
pivotroot: pivot_root [/sysroot,/sysroot/initrd] failed: 2
Remounting devfs in correct place if necessary
Mounted devfs om /dev
Freeing unused kernel memory 140K freed
Kernel panic: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel
This system will boot with any 'old' installed kernel but will not with
Any 'newly' installed kernel.
If there is other or more detailed info that I can provide which might
offer a clue as to the problem, let me know and I will try to provide.
I realize that this problem may be system specific, since I have
installed and booted kernel-2.4.19.17 on 2 others without problem.
But since this is my main use system any/all help will be greatly
appreciated.
TIA
Charles
