Hello,

 

I’m trying to install a nocona (x86_64) node based cluster with SATA and e1000.

I have systemimager 3.5.2 from CVS and compiled a 64 bit kernel 2.6.10 for it.

The first problem was: “not found init console” and it hangs. I have resolved it copying /dev on initrd.img

Then I have another problem, initrd.img is mounted as read-only and even doing “mkdir –p proc” fails and everything after that fails too.

I have created /proc inside initrd.img but it hangs attempting to rsync to /new_root/, because it doesn’t exists.

With kernel 2.4.X the initrd.img mounts as “rw” but in kernel 2.6 not.

 

Can you help me? I have been studying systemimager code enough time to understand it.

I have tested a lot of custom kernels, even the provided with SI 3.5.2, the 2.6.7 kernel but it doesn�t find my serial ata and I haven’t found the libata patch for it, so I modified SI to use 2.6.10 and patched it with libata, and now it appears to find my SATA but I can�t write into initrd.img.

 

Thnak you very much,

 

Fco. Javier Ridruejo
