Hi,
I am getting this problem while launching the new LFS 6.5:
Root NFS: No NFS server available, giving up
VFS: Unable to mount root fs via NFS trying floppy
VFS: Cannot open root device "sda6" on unknown_block (2,0)
Please append a correct "root=" boot options; here the options
Kernel Panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown_block (2,0)
I did not install grub. I have instead added new entries in the host system's
menu.lst. Since my LFS partition is /dev/sda6 as seen on host system I have
added the following to menu.lst
title LFS6.5
root (hd0,5)
kernel /boot/lfskernel-2.6.30.2 root=/dev/sda6
A result of grep on my .config file is the following:
grep NFS /mnt/lfs/compilation/linux-2.6.30.2/.config
CONFIG_NFS_FS=y
CONFIG_NFS_V3=y
CONFIG_NFS_V3_ACL=y
CONFIG_NFS_V4=y
CONFIG_ROOT_NFS=y
CONFIG_NFSD=y
CONFIG_NFSD_V3=y
# CONFIG_NFSD_V3_ACL is not set
# CONFIG_NFSD_V4 is not set
CONFIG_NFS_ACL_SUPPORT=y
CONFIG_NFS_COMMON=y
Why don't we use initrd in lfs?
Thanks,
Aditya
