Root: mkinitrd ... Permission denied. (?)
Hi, at the risk of being
tiresome (to myself if no one else) ...
I apt-graded to kernel-image-2.6.5-1-686 successfully, but after the
next dist-upgrade - which 'upgraded' the kernel-image - I found reboot
gave me a kernel panic
"VFS: Cannot open root device "hdb5" or unknown-block (0,0)
Please append a correct "root= " boot option
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown block (0,0)"
Googling around has suggested that 2.6.5 has changed the parsing of the
"root= " boot argument.
I rebooted with the rescue disk (2.4.8-bf2.4), which is missing its
modules dependency file (modules.dep), but now find
"Tux:~# /usr/sbin/mkinitrd -m /boot/initrd.img-2.6.5-1-686 -o
2.6.5custom
/usr/sbin/mkinitrd line 1: /boot/initrd.img-2.6.5-1-686: Permission
denied"
What am I missing here ?
