I'm getting all sorts of errors:
1. can not find getopts: to fix this i downloaded
rh-mkinitrd-3.4.42-1.tar.gz
2. first it error on -E not supported by grep: i copied mkinitrd from
my other server, running the same kernel
3. then it need awk: i copied awk from other server
4. then can not find root device: after looking in mkinitrd, it was
trying to find the root partition from /etc/fstab and it was not there
during installation
5. then can not find root filesystem: after looking in mkinitrd, it
was trying to find the root partition, i told it it's ext3
6. then it came back to can not find getopts...
I looked it up on my other server i can run getopts, but believe it I
couldn't find getopts, I did find getopt but not getopts
I have disabling SATA-RAID from bios, as if my SATA works I'm happy
with software raid
thanks for your speedy reply
cheers,
Vaibhav.
