 |
|
I recently compiled my 2.6.9-gentoo-r13 kernel so it will boot from my USB-HD. Because my motherboard won't boot from usb by itself, I had to make an initial ramdisk. After a while, the initial ramdisk worked, and my harddrive was recognised at boottime. But immediatly after mounting the root (sda3) - I even don't know whether it is mounted or not - I get this error message:
| Quote: | pivotroot: pivot_root(/sysroot, /sysroot/initrd) failed: 2
umount /initrd/proc failed: 2
Kernel panic - not syncing: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel |
So I added | Code: | | append="init=/initrd" |
to my lilo.conf. But it still hung at the same point.
this is my fstab:
| Code: | /dev/sda1 /boot est3 defaults,noatime 1 2
/dev/sda2 swap swap sw 0 0
/dev/sda3 / reiserfs noatime 0 1
/dev/sda4 /mnt/media ntfs noauto 0 0 |
and my lilo.conf:
| Code: | image=/boot/kernel-2.6.9-gentoo-r13
label="Gentoo"
root=/dev/sda3
read-only
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.6.9-gentoo-r13
append="init=/initrd" |
Does anybody know how to solve this?
(Could it be that the reiserfs from root <--> ext3 from initrd has something to do with the error?)
Greetz, JeePee

i'm not sure if we do have the same problem or not. i started a thread here. i never used a initrd, so i can't help you there. but it may be kernel related. i got my usb hd working with 2.6.9 sources, so you might want to try an older kernel - i keep looking for a fix ...
[EDIT] found the bug, have a look at: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=76445 [/EDIT]
