Re: ### URGENT ### Please help - Kernel panic - can not mount roo t






cat initrd | gzip -d > initrd.nogz
mount -o loop initrd.nogz /mnt
cd /mnt

Thanks for that but I could only get one readable file that is linuxrc and
it goes like this:
#! /bin/sh

export PATH=/bin

echo 'Loading module reiserfs ...'
insmod reiserfs

echo 'Loading module dasd_mod dasd=$dasd ...'
insmod dasd_mod dasd=$dasd

echo 'Loading module dasd_eckd_mod ...'
insmod dasd_eckd_mod

I am assuming that the paramter supplied was the boot vol. I am puzzled as
to how when IPLing from 2300, Linux actually wants to boot from 230A.
Somehow 230A is genned into initrd or it is remembering being IPLed from
230A sometime in the past. It is certainly saying
<4>Kernel command line: dasd=2300-230F root=/dev/dasdk1
in the boot.msg

I wonder where this command line is coming from? The parmfile says
dasd=2300-230F root=/dev/dasda1

I am not sure if there is a way to de-compile initrd to find out what it
contains!
