 Made initrd.gz cpio file, but it won`t boot... [Solved] |
|
Here`s the command I used to make the initrd.gz file:
| Code: | | find $DIR -print | cpio -o | gzip -9 > initrd.gz_NEW |
I get the error: Can`t mount root file system on unknown block .............
Any ideas anyone?

Hmmm .....
| Code: | | find $DIR -print | cpio -o | gzip -9 > initrd.gz_NEW |
That will borks the directory structure ... You need to go into the $DIR first :
| Code: | cd $DIR
find . | cpio -o -H newc | gzip -9 > ../initrd.gz.new |
That's close enough to what my own script does ....

Fixed: format used

Nope... Sorry to say it still has the same error! 
Kernel panic, can`t mount root file system on unknown block..........
I tried it on Pup400 that I`m experimenting with,
and MediaPup I`m code hacking so it won`t copy the SFS to ram (256MB).

Hmm .....
Bummer ... this copy/cut-n-paste thing sure makes for easy typo errs ... I normally specify the format too ...

Sorry again Patriot, I did as you suggested and checked my command line.
Yep... It`s wrong!
I`m writing this from MediaPup, my Hack: "don`t load SFS to 256MB ram" worked!
Many thanks for your help... Terry
