Dear List,
I have used a utility called partimage to transfer data from a fully
working system to similar, but not identical hardware. The system has a
software RAID1, running RedHat EL3, kernel 2.4.21.
I have recreated my ramdisk in a chrooted rescue environment.
On boot, I see the grub menu, but it promptly fails with this:
EXT3-fs: unable to read superblock
mount: error 22 mounting ext3
pivotroot: pivot_root(/sysroot, /sysroot/initrd) failed: 2
umount /initrd/proc failed: 2
...
kernel panic: No init found. Try passing init= option to the kernel.
Now - If I boot into resuce mode, edit my /etc/fstab to comment out the
top line, so it reads:
# /dev/md0 / ext3 defaults 1 1
/dev/hda1 / ext3 defaults 1 1
And change my grub.conf accordingly, so the root=/dev/hda1
In this case, the system will boot fine, obviously without RAID support.
What can I do to re-enable RAID?
Thanks for any feedback.
Chris
