 Hm - I haven't noticed that running normal init requires any parameter.

Hmm, I had runlevel 3 set in inittab but added 5 as a kernel parameter, so it 
boots with gdm. I'll try the -desktop kernel tomorrow, maybe it's just the 
LINUX_2_6 branch...

 shouldn't it be added before 
 compressing the initrd?

No - bootsplash is added the same way - appended to the image. This part
works fine. i'm using kernel-desktop as a testbed.

 I've generated initrd almost identical as Your. I've booted it
 successfully with 2.6.18.4_laptop-0.3 kernel.

Sorry for the late answer, I've been busy lately.
So, geninitrd does work with the ro change.
One more flaw - initramfs seems to ignore the initlevel parameter passed to

As for the bootsplash issue, I still haven't figured it out.
fbsplash doesn't seem to work either - shouldn't it be added before 
compressing the initrd?

Revision 1.441.2.1558.2.15  2006/07/12 12:23:06  hawk
- make bootsplash default over fbsplash

[Th] geninitrd borked?

2006-12-19 Thread Łukasz Jernaś
Hello.

I can't get my system to work with geninitrd-8103-1
rc-scripts fail when trying to check my root filesystem, because it's mounted 
read-write already. This doesn't happen with geninitrd-7899-0.1 at all.
Oh, and BTW when trying to use bootsplash kernel crashes with a kernel panic - 
cannot find rootfs - looks like initrd isn't even started in that case.

Maybe it's because I'm more of an Iron Maiden fan than Metallica? ;)

 It would be a good idea, there's no need for an rw root while initrd is 
 running, it's set by rc-scripts after checking the partition.

You miss the point - I didn't include mountintg rootfs rw as a feature,
I've omitted the -r parameter because of lack of knowledge ;) Fixed and
commited. I'll release another version later, when the second problem
gets fixed.

 No idea, I've just run geninitrd -v -f initrd-2.6.16.36-1.gz 2.6.16.36-1 and 
 it included bootsplash by default, although I have fbsplash installed too.

Hm - I think that geninitrds sysconfig file by default has bootsplash
and includes it whenever the bootsplash package is present. 

Let's divide two things. Both bootsplash and fbsplash need kernel
patching in order to work and *also* need userspace programs.

I'm not quite sure, if the newer PLD kernels include bootsplash patches
at all and if the do, how does having both bootsplash and fbsplash
*kernel* patches influence the system.

 
   cannot find rootfs - looks like initrd isn't even started in that case.
 
  Do You use initramfs as initrdfs, or old initrd ?? I must say as I have
  some idea what could be wrong with the rw/ro matter, but this just
  doesn't get to me.
 
 See above - I didn't touch anything in /e/s/geninitrd

Darn - I don't have a bloody idea what could be wrong. Does that 'cannot
find rootfs' occur in result of switch_root, or somewhere earlier??

Please check two things 4 me in order to fix that.

1. Is the generated image initrd, or initramfs (should be the later).
mkdir /tmp/czarny_sucks
cp /boot/initrd-2.6.something.gz /tmp/czarny_sucks
cd /tmp/czarny_sucks
gunzip initrdtab
cpio -i  initrdtab

If this works, You have initramfs, if not - You've got initrd.
If initrd, please mount it:
mkdir fuck
modprobe loop
mount -oloop -tromfs initrdtab shit

and in both cases paste me the linuxrc/init script here.

2. What are You passing at kernel boot (through the bootloader) as the
root parameter? My work in initramfs is to parse that parameter and
mount the rootfs accordingly - I could've screwed that part, or didn't
anticipate some parameter form.

 N/P - 5 weeks is a long time though, it was enough to start and end my 
 engineering project ;)

Yea, but /me wants to get world-famous. PPl don't get world-famous in 5
weeks of work ;p

Ok - so it seems to be initramfs. Good. Now the two other informations

From this script everything seems to be just fine, so the root parameter
is crusial.

Output from geninitrd suggests we got the same initrd image. I've set
udev off (as nothing from Your geninitrd suggests udev) no splashes (FB
or BOOTSPLASH), just initramfs as the default initrdfs.

Please edit the init script and let the whole file for set -x, to show
