Which approaches could be taken?
Should i use the initrd stuff? Is it mandatory?
I am following the Linux Bootdisk but i can not find my attached crfs
image. I have seen i have printked in the rd.c module the values of my.
This is the proccess that i have followed
- compressed-kernel-image
[root@tau root-fs]# ls -s bzImage-rt3.1-nodiskbzImage-rt3.1
996 bzImage-rt3.1
- i will left 50 free blocks so the file will have the crfs at the block
1046
- to build the crfs i think that a raw 8Mbytes file is enough
[root@tau root-fs]# dd if=/dev/zero of=e2rfs_test.img bs=1k count=8192
[root@tau root-fs]# mke2fs e2rfs_test.img
[root@tau root-fs]# mount -o loop e2rfs_test.img mount/
And fill the file structure /sbin, /bin, ans so forth
[root@tau root-fs]# ummount /mount
[root@tau root-fs]# gzip -v9 e2rfs_test.img
- Kernel/Image configuration
The magic number for redev 17430 = 1046 + 2^14
[root@tau root-fs]# rdev -r bzImage-rt3.1-nodisk 17430
[root@tau root-fs]# rdev bzImage-rt3.1-nodisk /dev/ram0
- Join Kernel/customized crfs
[root@tau root-fs]# cp bzImage-rt3.1-nodisk boot-rt3.1-nodisk.img
[root@tau root-fs]# dd if=e2rfs_test.img.gz of=boot-rt3.1-nodisk.img
bs=1k seek=1046
- So boot-rt3.1-nodisk.img have all the stuff
- The Lilo stuff
/etc/lilo.conf extract
image=/boot/boot-rt3.1-nodisk.img
label=linux-rt3.1-nodisk
append=" devfs=mount"
read-only
[root@tau root-fs]# cp boot-rt3.1-nodisk.img /boot
[root@tau root-fs]# lilo
and all seems ok, lilo downloads the info to my master boot record
reboot and ..
cramfs:wrong magic
Kernel Panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 01:00
which corresponds with /dev/ram0
Any Hints??
