inittab not found after install.
robb...@gmail.com
I am 99% finished with my PXE/NFS/AutoYast install system. I have hit a
minor, well major problem. The install process goes through installs
everything on the system reboots and starts up..... That's where it
hits a big problem. My system is setup with 4 primary partitions. One
of those partitions is an LVM which will include the majority of the
file system. It can't seem to find the initrd files for some reason. It
looks like the /boot partition might not be there or something along
those lines. Here are the logs that might help.
Loading kernel/fs/reiserfs/reiserfs.ko
Waiting for device /dev/sda2 to appear: . ok

VFS: Mounted root (reiserfs filesystem) readonly
Trying to move old root to /initrd .... failed
Unmounting old root
Trying to free ramdisk memory ... okay
Freeing unused Kernel memory: 216k freed
INIT: version 2.85 booting
INIT: No inittab file found
Enter runlevel:
Here is the install.xml file that should take care of everything.. Does
anyone see a problem here?
Thanks a bunch!

Here's a quick reply that could at least potentially get you going. On
a box with similar partitioning that works
Yast -> Misc -> Autoinstallation
Tools -> Create Reference Profile
Tab to Basic Resources, down arrow to Boot loader <space> (select it)
tab to Create <enter>
File -> Save as
pick a name
edit with favorite text editor
Hack it to meet your needs
Hope this helps
