On one machine I created a chroot using debootstrap, and put grub (stage2_eltorito) into it, but I think I'm having trouble with my initrd.
When I tried just installing the kernel, by default it automatically tried to run mkinitrd, but I think because I was in my chroot (and not a real device) it failed. So before installing the kernel, I installed the initrd tools, and modified the mkinitrd ROOT variable to be blank. Now the kernel installs (without an initrd). So I used (bootcd) mkinitrd-cd to create the initrd inside the chroot. And then mkisofs and cdrecord the whole thing. On our target system, I boot to the cd, grub loads, and the kernel appears to load, but then panics... Cannot mount root fs on unknown-block(3,1) I'm not sure, but I'm afraid that (3,1) coorisponds to the boot partition of the first machine (where the initrd was created)... Any clues?
