Here are the last few lines I get that seem erroneous, everything up to that point looks tip-top:
| Code: |
VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly.
mount_devfs_fs(): unable to mount devfs, err: -2
Warning: unable to open an initial console.
Kernel panic - not syncing: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel.
|
It detects my SATA harddrive as sda, which is what the LiveCD detected it as, so there's nothing awry there for sure.
I had a successful setup a couple weeks ago, then decided to start over with ReiserFS. That's why that line about root being ext2 worries me. I did nothing different from last time, except enabled ReiserFS support in the kernel. Here's fstab:
| Code: |
/dev/sda7 /boot ext2 noauto,noatime 1 1
/dev/sda6 / reiserfs noatime 0 1
/dev/sda8 none swap sw 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
|
Any ideas?

All I can think is that maybe your grub config file is setup wrong. Make sure in your /boot/grub/grub.conf file, you have:
kernel (hd0,6)/bzImage root=/dev/sda6
I'm not sure if (hd0,6) is totally right, because I don't know how the sda vs. hda works in grub. If you're using lilo, then I have no clue.

You also might need to add an init command to the grub.conf file. I think you only need this if you used genkernel. It might look like this:
kernel /linux-blah root=/dev/ram init=/linuxrc etc.
Try the installation how-to to see what you need.

Yeah, I'm a dumbass. My grub.conf was pointing to /dev/hde7 from my previous install. Works fine now, I totally forgot I changed my partition structure and keep underestimating the importance of grub.conf. |
