[syslinux] Switchroot: mount failed: 22, Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted tp kill init!

[Eli Stair]

Guess: your kernel was built with an initramfs that contains an init script... the init script is doing a switch_root to some hardcoded/defined/detected local device which doesn't exist (or isn't bootable) in your situation.  I'm _guessing_ that you're trying to do an old-school nfsroot mount.  That doesn't work anymore, as of 2.6.15.  

See: ramfs-rootfs-initramfs.txt

Or I could be entirely off base, I'm basing this scenario on the little info you gave... not sure that "root=IP" does in fact do anything. (nfsroot= maybe?)  Most likely, this doesn't come down to an issue with syslinux, it seems to have done its job

Hi, everybody!

My pxelinux.0/default file is:

LABEL linux
  KERNEL vmlinuz-2.6.16
  APPEND initrd=initrd-2.6.16.img
root=192.168.4.110:/clients/192.168.4.100/root

When mounting I get:

switchroot: mount failed: 22
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted tp kill init!

Before it I get some messages about: Can't find /dev/console.
/clients/192.168.4.100/root/dev was empty. I've copied my /dev to
/clients/192.168.4.100/root/dev/ but the errors weren't fixed.

What is the problem with mounting? Thanks advance.

PS. I do everything according to FM at linux-mag.com
