Hi all, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
Currently, I am experiencing problems with udev on a custom made 2005.1 |
| 4 |
LiveCD. I have a Firewire (IEEE 1394) CD-Rom that I want to boot from. |
| 5 |
During bootup, all necessary modules are loaded, but the CD-detection |
| 6 |
fails even if I compile firewire, firewire-blockdev and SCSI-CDROM |
| 7 |
static. Interesting is, that the CD-detection script just probes all |
| 8 |
/dev/[hs]daX devices, but not /dev/scdX. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
After that, I get to the following prompt: |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
!! The root block device is unspecified or not detected. |
| 13 |
Please specify a device to boot, or "shell" for a shell... |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
After typing "shell" I can enter the Ramdisk-shell and create my |
| 16 |
/dev/scd0 by hand: |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
mknod /dev/scd0 b 11 0 |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
but when I try to continue booting with |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
exec /init |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
and then entering /dev/scd0 as boot-device, it successfully mounts it to |
| 25 |
/newroot but then fails to create the directories /newroot/tmp and |
| 26 |
/newroot/dev (of course, readonly fs). After it it fails completely with |
| 27 |
the message |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
>> Booting (initramfs)....umount: /sys: Invalid argument |
| 30 |
*: Failed to unmount the initrd /sys! |
| 31 |
.. |
| 32 |
chroot: cannot execute /bin/sh: No such file or directory |
| 33 |
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attemped to kill init! |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
Obviously, nowhere to go from here... maybe you can tell me what I could |
| 36 |
change to make it working? |

Greetings, |
