I believe you need to create an initrd for your new kernel: cd /usr/src/linux mkinitrd /boot/initrd-version.number-extensions.img version.number-extensions Example: mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.4.16-rv1.img 2.4.16-rv1
I believe someone (Rob?) wrote a nice mini how-to on this. I learned it quickly and it's worked for me eversince. Can someone post where this how-to is? -----Original Message----- From: Andy Hart [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, February 04, 2002 6:07 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [TriLUG] HELP! I've compiled a new kernel, set up my lilo.conf file, ran lilo ... When I boot the machine I get the following error: > mount: error 19 mounting ext 3 > pivotroot: pivot_root(/sysroot,/sysroot/initrd) fail 2 > freeing unused kernel memory: 228k freed > kernel panic: no init found. Try passing init= option to kernel I suspect that since it started with mount: error 19 issue that that is the root cause, but I don't know how to correct it. Please help on this. - Andy _______________________________________________ TriLUG mailing list http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug
