Hi All, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I just fitted a new ATA drive (hdb) in my box and thought of doing the |
| 4 |
best thing for it - install Gentoo 2004.3 :-) |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
I used the following partitioning scheme which spreads across both hda & |
| 7 |
hdb. Boot is ext2, the rest are reiserfs - straight forward stuff. |
| 8 |
Once I chroot into it I get: |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
# df -h |
| 11 |
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on |
| 12 |
/dev/hdb7 393M 43M 350M 11% / |
| 13 |

| 14 |

/dev/hda8 306M 36M 270M 12% /lib |
| 23 |
none 393M 43M 350M 11% /dev/shm |

After I installed a stage three 2004.3 profile I compiled a kernel |
| 26 |
(2.6.9-r9 from gentoo-dev sources) and tried to boot into my new system. |
| 27 |
Grub launches and mounts hdb7. Then it fails with the following kernel |
| 28 |
panic error: |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
ReiserFS: hdb7: Using r5 hash to sort names |
| 31 |
VFS: Mounted root (reiserfs filesystem) readonly. |
| 32 |
Freeing unused kernel memory: 212k freed. |
| 33 |
Kernel panic - not syncing: No init found. |
| 34 |
Try passing init= option to kernel. |
| 35 |

This is my fstab: |

|
| 38 |

I cannot for the life of me understand what's wrong. Why isn't |
| 72 |
/sbin/init loaded into memory? I've checked /etc/inittab and there's |
| 73 |
nothing wrong with it. |
| 74 |
|
| 75 |
This is my grub.conf: |
| 76 |
|
| 77 |
title=Gentoo Linux 2.6.9-gentoo-r9 |
| 78 |
root (hd1,0) |
| 79 |
kernel /kernel-2.6.9-gentoo-r9 root=/dev/hdb7 |
| 80 |
|
| 81 |
I've sought help here: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=262302 |
| 82 |
but none of the suggestions helped me to solve it. I don't know what |
| 83 |
else to try. Could it be my partitioning scheme, paths or access |
| 84 |
rights? I've tried different configurations of 2.6.9-r9 (just in case) |
| 85 |
but the same error occurs. |
| 86 |
|
| 87 |
Any ideas? How can I troubleshoot it? What "init= option" is it asking |
| 88 |
for? |
