Re: [Xen-users] OpenSuse 10.2 & Xen 3.1 initrd file missing

["Chris Laware" <claware@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Marcel,

I did try that (my modules for the RAID card, etc. are called out in the
initrd script for all kernel builds under sysconfig) and it errors out
saying it cannot find the directory under /boot/initrd-xen.img/etc/fstab (it
fails on line 3036 of the mkinitrd script).  I must still have a fileystem
issue but can't figure what it is.  I've gone through the mkinitrd script,
double-checked my modules for inclusion (processor, RAID, sata driver) in
the config script and they seem to be right.  Yet it still fails which means
I missing something here. A regular build for SUSE 10.2 initrd goes smoothly
with all the modules included.  

Still looking....

Thanks,

Chris

Hi Chris,

well I had the sam problem. It's seems that the initrd itself is  
missing. I've
just made an initrd with(example):

mkinitrd /boot/initrd-xen.img 2.6.18-xen

(if I remember it right)... if you got some special hardware, like  
HDD Controller
which needs extra kernel-modules please make sure they're build into  
the initrd otherwise
your HDD's won't be recognized(you can check it with the -v option in  
mkinitrd).



Cheers,
  Marcel
