Hi,
I am trying to use loadlin to boot up a machine. But after I
replaced the bzImage, the kernel fails to boot up. It prints
out error messages like:
...
VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly
Freeing unused kernel memory : 96K freed
Warning: unable to open an initial console
Kernel panic: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel.
The boot.bat file is:
loadlin.exe bzImage ro root=0x0821
Thanks,
Xiangping

0x0821 represents /dev/sdc1. Did you build the SCSI driver into the kernel, or
do use an initrd?

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I found the problem. The first kernel
image doesn't probe multiple luns, while the second one does.
So the devno of the root filesystem changes. I built the driver
into the kernel, so I did not use the initrd.
There is another problem with loadLin for > 2.4.2 kernel.
It seems that I could not use dev names to specify root
filesystem. Say if the boot.bat is like:
loadlin.exe bzImage ro root=/dev/sdc1
The kernel fails to boot due to null ptr error.

0x0821 represents /dev/sdc1. Did you build the SCSI driver into the kernel,
or
do use an initrd?
