Hi Beat, uuh, lilo, it's about 10 years or so I had used it.
As far as I can remember you have to actualize the list of blocks where the kernel resides (every time you have tinkered with the kernel). May be a simple "lilo -v" does this, but you should have a look inside lilo's manpage. Why can't you use grub ? Regarding initrd, if you have a kernel where all device drivers and other kernel modules mandatory for booting are statically linked in (not modules !), you do not need a initrd. cheers, John On 07/04/2012 08:00 PM, Beat Meier wrote: > Hello > > Voyage 0.8.5 lilo installation does not work anymore. > Just installed new installation not upgrade of voyage-0.8.5 on alix > plattform. > Problem is kernel labeling with space does not work with lilo only > with grub. > But even with correcting this root is not found. > Error is: > > [ 0.602598] Root-NFS: no NFS server address > [ 0.604197] VFS: Unable to mount root fs via NFS, trying floppy. > [ 0.605763] VFS: Cannot open root device "LABEL=ROOT_FS" or > unknown-block(2,0) > [ 0.606481] Please append a correct "root=" boot option; here are > the available partitions: > [ 0.607591] Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root > fs on unknown-block(2,0) > [ 0.608394] Pid: 1, comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 3.2.17-voyage #1 > [ 0.609432] Call Trace: > [ 0.610839] [<c12b99db>] panic+0x5a/0x14b > [ 0.612185] [<c13cbb3e>] mount_block_root+0x15f/0x173 > [ 0.612660] [<c108ffb7>] ? sys_mknod+0x13/0x15 > [ 0.614339] [<c13cb1df>] ? parse_early_options+0x1c/0x1c > [ 0.615571] [<c13cbc14>] mount_root+0xc2/0xcc > [ 0.616939] [<c13cc63d>] ? initrd_load+0x2be/0x2c8 > [ 0.617604] [<c13cb1df>] ? parse_early_options+0x1c/0x1c > [ 0.618830] [<c13cbd5e>] prepare_namespace+0x140/0x171 > [ 0.619532] [<c13cb2d0>] kernel_init+0xf1/0xfd > [ 0.621161] [<c12bcbf6>] kernel_thread_helper+0x6/0xd > > > What's the problem? > How can I use lilo with voyage 0.8.5? > > BTW: How can I use only kernel without initrd on wrap/alix?
