2.6.29 custom kernel
Raffaele Morelli
I am experiencing serious troubles in compiling kernel 2.6.29 backport to lenny
Compiling with make-kpkg goes well and ends up with the linux-image deb file, I create initrd.img using
update-initramfs -c 2.6.29
but at boot I got these messages
kinit: No resume image, doing normal boot
mount: Mounting /dev/hda1 on /root failed: Device or resource busy
mount: Mounting /root/dev on /dev/.static/dev failed: No such file or directory
mount: Mounting /sys on /root/sys failed: No such file or directory
mount: Mounting /proc on /root/proc failed: no such file or directory
Target filesystem doesn't have /sbin/init
if I get a grub shell I can't see /dev/sda1 and passing kernel and initrd options (correct ones, vmlinuz-2.6.29 and initrd.img-2.6.29) ends up in a
Failure: failed to load module dm-emc
...
...
mount: cannot read /etc/fstab: No such file or directory
....
No init found. Try passing init= bootarg
Can someone help?
debian testing here
the box is a sony vaio VGN-AW21Z... owned by my company, so help would be very appreciated.
regards

^^^^^^^^^
So what should it be? (/dev/hda1 or /dev/sda1)

And you are compiling a lenny backport on a testing box?

You probably need to give some more detailed information.
Example:
What was the exact command you gave to kernel-package?
Did you run update-grub?
What is the contents of "/boot/grub/menu.lst
Sorry I can't be of any more help.

Yes, because I always prefer debian patched deb or src, 2.6.29 is a recent kernel.

I solved running a debian dvd in rescue mode and coping the /etc/mtab file into the /etc/fstab. I guess it was a kernel config option which enables the now "deprecated sysfs layout for older userspace tools".
My kernel-package conf files are ok, I usually compile custom kernels every time a new RT patch is released.
