Is anybody aware of this problem ? Mandrake are still getting it with 10.1 beta, and I get it with the source from kernel.org. I've seen some inconclusive posts about not making ext3 a module, and about changes to SATA handling (from IDE to SCSI) which I've checked OK in .config, but I understand that isn't new in 2.6.8. Error reads :-
error 6 mounting ext3
pivot_root (/sysroot, /sysroot /initrd) failed : 2
kernel panic : no init found. Try passing init= option to kernel
If in your ".config", you have this line, CONFIG_EXT3_FS=m
Change that to, CONFIG_EXT3_FS=y
And re-compile like so,
make && make modules && make modules_install && make install
my /boot does contain initrd-2.6.8.1.img, vmlinuz-2.6.8.1, etc.
Has someting in 2.6.8 been tweaked requiring different or new lilo boot options ?
thanks
