Ok, I've been steadily migrating all my data to a raid array. I have |
| 5 |
everything running under raid5+lvm2, except for my root partition, which |
| 6 |
is 1GB and running raid1 (no lvm). |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
On the root partition are: |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
bin, sbin, lib32, lib64, root, etc |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
I think that should be all that is needed to boot the system and mount |
| 13 |
/usr, /var, and everything else. Actually, I know it is, since I can |
| 14 |
boot just fine with only those directories actually on my old root. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
The system boots just fine with the root partition on a non-md device |
| 17 |
(my old root). When I try to boot with root=/dev/md2, however, I get a |
| 18 |
panic right after the freeing memory message. The error is unable to |
| 19 |
open initial console. I was wondering if for some reason it couldn't |
| 20 |
find init, so I explicitly stated init=/sbin/init - no effect. Then I |
| 21 |
tried setting init=/bin/bash to see if I could at least get a shell - |
| 22 |
that gave me a not syncing (attempted to kill init) panic. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Am I missing something obvious? I do see on the console that it is |
| 25 |
building the /dev/md2 array. Also, I get the "VFS: Mounted root (ext3 |
| 26 |
filesystem) readonly." message, so it obviously is looking at the root |
| 27 |
filesystem. |
