I've gone and created an appropriate zImage (at least, it boots
the ThinkPad 760LD) and I'd like to use it in place of the bzImage on the
rescue disk.
The root.bin image loads, my replacement kernel loads off disk,
uncompresses, and boots up to the point of mounting the root FS, where it
failes utterly. Last set of output from the boot is:
RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0
VFS: Mounted root (minix filesystem)
[MS-DOS FS Rel. 12,FAT 0,check=n,conv=b,uid=0,gid=0,umask=022,bmap]
[me=0x0,cs=0,#f=0,fs=0,fl=0,ds=0,de=0,data=0,se=0,ts=0,ls=0]
Transaction block size = 512
[MS-DOS FS Rel. 12,FAT 0,check=n,conv=b,uid=0,gid=0,umask=022,bmap]
[me=0x0,cs=0,#f=0,fs=0,fl=0,ds=0,de=0,data=0,se=0,ts=0,ls=0]
Transaction block size = 512
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 01:01
Everything the readme.txt file asks for is compiled in: ramdisk,
initrd, msdos, fat, minix, elf, ext2fs, procfs. The rdev.sh script on
the rescue disk sets the boot device to /dev/ram0; I've a /dev/ram, but
no /dev/ram0. Setting /dev/ram in place of /dev/ram0 doesn't work.
The new image is built from the current debian kernel sources
(2.0.27); the bzimage on the rescue disk is 2.0.29 IIRC.
What am I missing?
(BTW-- XFree86 3.3 SVGA server on a Trident Cyber9320
[a.k.a. tgui9320lcd] sucks large rocks through small straws. It works,
and it's usable, but any moving object creates "static" lines, similar to
another report.)
