Hello guys,
is there anybody out there who got lilo running with a ide flash drive?
On the flash should be a kernel and a comprimated initrd. The kernel
should load the initrd readonly and turn it to a real ramdisk with a
root filesystem, resulting in the whole system running only in memory.
State of affairs:
I can boot the kernel and get along to the message:
VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem).
when I told Lilo to use /dev/ram for root. Furthermore the computer
isn't reacting to the keyboard any longer.
If I use /dev/hda1, (what is wrong IMHO) there are some more lines:
hda: hda1 hda4
hda: hda1 hda4
VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly.
Trying to unmount old root....done
Unable to open an initial console.
Furthermore I can do a reset by ctrl-alt-del.
In my opinion is the second output OK, because if there's another root
then /dev/ram, the kernel tries to mount it, after executing /linuxrc.
BUT: I have put a little "linuxrc" program with content:
main(){printf("Hallo");}
into the ramdisk and also into /dev/hda1, but none is executed.
So, has anybody an idea what is going wrong here?
read you
Bernd
