1 Hi list,
2
3 I'm tired with my problem and I hope someone can help... the problem is:
4
5 I have my / partition on /dev/sda1, including /boot. But 2 days ago
6 when I did the gentoo instalation I put it on a wrong disk. /
7 partition must be /dev/sdb2, that is connected to a SCSI controler
8 different than /dev/sda, that is connected in another one. Well, when
9 I had / on /dev/sda1 I setup lilo.conf and everything works fine:
10
11 image=/boot/kernel-genkernel-x86_64-2.6.16-gentoo-r7
12 label = Gentoo
13 read-only # read-only for checking
14 root=/dev/ram0
15 append="doscsi init=/linuxrc ramdisk=8192 real_root=/dev/sda1 udev"
16 initrd=/boot/initramfs-genkernel-x86_64-2.6.16-gentoo-r7
17
18 But as I said (due to my company rules) I have to put / partition on
19 /dev/sdb2. So, I boot from gentoo livecd and copy the entire /dev/sda1
20 data to /dev/sdb2. After this I change the lilo.conf as follows:
21
22 image=/boot/kernel-genkernel-x86_64-2.6.16-gentoo-r7
23 label = Gentoo
24 read-only # read-only for checking
25 root=/dev/ram0
26 append="doscsi init=/linuxrc ramdisk=8192 real_root=/dev/sdb2 udev"
27 initrd=/boot/initramfs-genkernel-x86_64-2.6.16-gentoo-r7
28
29 But, when I boot the computer I got the following message:
30
31 >>Mounting root...
32 mkdir: Cannot create directory '/newroot/tmp':Read-only file system
33 mkdir: //newroot/dev/console: No such file or directory
34 mknod: //newroot/dev/tty1: No such file or directory
35 Booting (initramfs)......
36 chroot: cannot execute /bin/sh: No such file or directory
37 Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
38
39 I put Adaptec AARAID module *build in* in the kernel, without it the
40 /dev/sdb2 is not recognized. I generated the kernel using genkernel
41 --menuconfig all.
42
43 Any clue?
44
45 Thank you very much.

47 Leandro.
