A d-i image such as the netinst one has a rescue mode which could help
in any repairs to your machine.
Thanks for the hint. I never realized how capable rescue mode is.
But now I'm even more confused.
Whatever I try, I alway end up with an early kernel panic "Kernel panic
- not syncing: No working init found.".
I've built new initrd images with mkinitrd. Same error.
I've exchanged systemd-sysv and backrolled to sysvinit and have again
built new images. I have verified that I booted with the new initrd and
that the new initrd contained the sysvinit. Same error on boot again.
I reinstalled systemd-sysv, replaced initramfs-tools with dracut, and
built new images with dracut. Verified that I was indeed using the new
images. Same error on boot again.
I tried different kernels. Same error. Only that the error message is
less specific on 3.2.0 than with 3.1.14: The later always says "(error
-8)".
Obviously the error 8 is for ENOEXEC - Exec format error. I wonder what
this could mean. The kernel is i386 (686-pae) and /sbin/init is as well
i386.
I'm still looking forward to hints how to recover from this problem ;-)
Best regards,
Gregor
