Hi all, Operating system Redhat 7.3 (2.4.18-3)
The other day I installed a second hard drive (Maxtor 160GB). and new RAM to 1.256GB At first everything was alright (except for an fdisk error on partition not ending on cylinder end for a fat32 prtition created in Windows 2000). This morning linux would not boot, hanging at STARTING XFS. As the day progressed and I tried to fix it things became worse. Now it wont boot at all with error pivot root: pivot_root(/sysroot,/sysroot/initrd) failed: 2 freeing unused kernel memory : 280k freed kernel panic : No init found. Try passing init = option to kernel. I can log in using rescue and # chroot /mnt/sysconfig I have repartitioned the new drive with linux fdisk to try to eliminate the disk geometry probs. (it is presently unformatted) I have tried using lilo to boot instead of grub (i.e. made lilo.conf and ran lilo -v -v) I have tried copying /sbin/init to /bin/init (not sure why I did this) I have tried running mkintrd -f -v --with=ext3 initrd-2.4.18-3.img 2.4.18-3 I have tried reinstalling Xfree86-xfs using the redhat 7.3 install with upgrade option. I now turn in desparation to the fine minds that write to this list.
