1 Howdy,
2
3 I been messing with this init thing again. I installed dracut, Googled
4 like a mad man and finally got something to work, I think. Here is some
5 info:
6
7 root@fireball / # dmesg | grep dracut
8 [ 3.378296] dracut: Checking reiserfs: /dev/sda3
9 [ 3.378644] dracut: issuing reiserfsck -a /dev/sda3
10 [ 3.391728] dracut: Reiserfs super block in block 16 on 0x803 of
11 format 3.6 with standard journal
12 [ 3.392314] dracut: Blocks (total/free): 4883760/2828326 by 4096 bytes
13 [ 3.392636] dracut: Filesystem is clean
14 [ 3.393060] dracut: Remounting /dev/sda3 with -o ro
15 [ 3.481926] dracut: Mounted root filesystem /dev/sda3
16 [ 3.572413] dracut: Switching root
17 root@fireball / #

19 In my grub.conf I have this:
20
21 title=Initramfs-test
22 root (hd0,0)
23 kernel /boot/bzImage-3.1.5-1 root=/dev/sda3 init=/sbin/init
24 initrd /initramfs-3.1.5-gentoo.img
25
26 That is also what I booted with. So, is it set up right? It scrolls so
27 fast I can't really see what it is doing in real time. I don't know and
28 can't find a way to confirm it is working so figured I would post what I
29 can find here. It did boot tho.

31 By the way, my root partition is sda3.

33 Thanks.
