rescue Posted August 30, 2004 Report Share Posted August 30, 2004 I have a INI-A100U2W scsi hard disk. When I install system, it finds the correct driver and I can accsess drive. Install goes fine. (I install bootloader on floppy) But when I boot it seems that it won't load the INI-A100U2W module. The last kernel messages are: VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem). Red Het nash version 3.5.24-mdk starting. Loading jbd.ko module Loading ext3.ko module Mounting /proc filesystem Mounting sysfs Creating device files Creating root filesystem mount: error 6 mounting ext3 flags. well, retrying without the option falgs mount: error 6 mounting ext3 well, retrying wread-only withouyt anyflags mount: error 6 mounting ext3 pivotrot: pivot_root (/sysroot,/sysroot/initrd) failed 2 Remounting devfs at cvorrect place Freeing unused kernel memory: 188k freed kernel panic: No init found. try passing init= option to kernel. ???

devries Posted August 30, 2004 Report Share Posted August 30, 2004 I'm not much of an expert regarding scsi drives but I think this error means that it needs the module before it actually is being loaded during boot-up. Solution: don't build it as a module but directly in the kernel. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rescue Posted August 31, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2004 Build it??? I just installed the whole system and can't boot it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidzoo Posted August 31, 2004 Report Share Posted August 31, 2004 Can you boot to a live cd and get a copy of /etc/lilo.conf from your hd? Try knoppix. I can help you fix this if I get some more info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devries Posted August 31, 2004 Report Share Posted August 31, 2004 You expect to install cooker on a scsi drive an boot from a floppy and it would work out of the box? I'm afraid your expecations aren't very realistic. :) Anyway, somewhere in the slackware faqs/howtos there is an explenation about 'mkinitrd' You could have a look at it.

rescue Posted August 31, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2004 I don't expect that, but If the installer found my scsi drive I thought that it wouldn't be so hard to fix this problem. Anyway I found another solution. I bought an IDE hd, installed system on it. When system is up harddrake finds my scsi drive and I mounted /home there :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
