I am migrating my linux laptop from a kernel 2.4.27-2 to a 2.6.12.6
one. Since I compiled the 2.6.12.6 kernel and booted my laptop, I am
receiving the following message when chose the 2.6.12.6 entry in the
grub menu:
mount: mount point dev does not exist
pivot_root: No such file or directory
/sbin/init: 432: cannot open dev/console: No such file
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
But when I chose the 2.4.27 entry in the grub meno, my laptop boots ok!
My laptop is running Debian Sarge 3.1a, kernel 2.4.27-2 (that it is
booting ok) and kernel 2.4.6.12.6 (kernel.org kernel). I compiled the
2.6.12.6 kernel with all needed modules (sata disk, ext3 ... including
devfs support), maked a initrd image with the necessary modules to mount
the / partition (sata modules, file system modules...) and changed the
disks names in the /etc/fstab from hda to sda (as it is recognized at
2.6.12.6 kernel bootup process). The laptop model is IBM Thinkpad T43.
pretty sure it doesn't).
It may have SATA, which would show up as sda.
Do you have all of the necessary SATA drivers and sd.o (sd.ko
if modules) present?
Any ideia? Anybody knows why it is happen?Are you sure the initrd was correctly made. That pivot_root seems to
suggest that it wasn't. You're using Debian. When I went from 2.4 to 2.6
I just used aptitude (or apt-get) to get the 2.6 kernel first, and let the
package manager make all the necessary changes for me. I also usually
don't use an initrd and just compile in the drivers for my ide and
filesystems.
