I just compiled kernel-2.6.12-gentoo-r5 almost exactly the same way I've |
| 2 |
compiled every other kernel, but this one won't boot! |
| 3 |
|
| 4 |
I used genkernel as so: |
| 5 |
sudo genkernel --no-menuconfig --save-config --no-bootsplash --gensplash |
| 6 |
--gensplash=emergence --install |
| 7 |
--kernel-config=/home/iain/configs/2.6.12-gr5-2005-07-14 --makeopts=-j3 |
| 8 |
--mountboot --bootloader=grub all |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
which is the same as I used for 2.6.12-gentoo and 2.6.11-gentoo-r11 |
| 11 |
(etc) and they worked fine. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
The only difference is I removed --udev from the genkernel options |
| 14 |
because genkernel told me its specified by default. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
The kernel and initrd files are named differently: |
| 18 |
kernel-genkernel-x86-2.6.12-gentoo-r5 |
| 19 |
initramfs-genkernel-x86-2.6.12-gentoo-r5 |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
as opposed to |
| 22 |
kernel-2.6.11-gentoo-r11 |
| 23 |
initrd-2.6.11-gentoo-r11 |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Grub loads the initrd ok, but somewhere in the boot process, this |
| 26 |
happens (with lots more /init lines where I've placed 'etc'): |
| 27 |

Freeing unused kernel memory: 228k freed |

|
| 34 |
all ok up to here, but then: |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
-install: applet not found |
| 37 |
/init: 41: In: not found |
| 38 |
/init: 45: cat: not found |

| 41 |
/init: 172: touch: not found |
| 42 |
/init: 172: cat: not found |
| 43 |
... |
| 44 |
etc! |
| 45 |
... |
| 46 |
>> Activating udev |
| 47 |
/init: 178: mkdir: not found |
| 48 |
/init: 178: /sbin/udevstart: not found |
| 49 |
/init: 178: In: not found |
| 50 |
... |
| 51 |
etc! |
| 52 |
... |
| 53 |
[: /dev/md: unknown operand |
| 54 |
/init: 187: mkdir: not found |

>> Determining root device... |

Please specify a device to boot, or "shell" for a shell... |

|
| 60 |
(this is typed from a photo, so E&OE !!) |
| 61 |
|
| 62 |
At this stage, I can type shell, but I don't get any commands. When I |
| 63 |
try to use tab completion, I see some strange directory names (sorry |
| 64 |
can't remember exactly). |
| 65 |
|
| 66 |
I thought maybe for some reason I didn't have the right filesystem |
| 67 |
modules compiled in, but they're certainly there: |
| 68 |
|
| 69 |
CONFIG_EXT3_FS=y |
| 70 |
and so on, but anyway, I haven't changed this from 2.6.11. |
| 71 |
|
| 72 |
So, any ideas on what's going on? Something udev related? google only |
| 73 |
returned the usual "init not found", MARC showed nothing and I can't |
| 74 |
connect to gmane, anyone know whats going on there? |
| 75 |
|
| 76 |
Many TIA! |
