Installation Problems
Hmmmm.
I think I made some progress.
Usually, my filesystem wouldn't mount.
This time, using
loadlin linux root=/dev/ram initrd=root.bin disksize=1.44
(linux is my linux kernel)
(all the files are on c:\, a dos partition)
the kernel booted fine but then ended with
"
Partition check:
hda: hda1 hda2 hda3 < hda5 hda6 hda7 >
RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0
invalid compressed format (err=2)<6>apm: BIOS version 1.1 Flags 0x03
(Driver version 1.13)
apm: disabled on user request.
EXT2-fs warning: checktime reached, running e2fsck is recommended
VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem).
Freeing unused kernel memory: 156k freed
kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k binfmt-464c, errno = 2

Kernel panic: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel.
ide0: unexpected interrupt, status=0x80, count=1
"
What do I pass to init= ?
I tried
loadlin linux root=/dev/ram initrd=root.bin disksize=1.44 init=single
as described in
http://www.ibiblio.org/mdw/HOWTO/BootPrompt-HOWTO-2.html#ss2.6,
the kernel image was loaded, but loadlin then reported
" can't open image file for initrd".
What should I do?
Besides, how come there is no kernel panic because of the
"invalid compressed format (err=2)" ?
