Hi All,
I have setup a debian machine which I want to run raid on and I am stuck
at a certain point with the machine kernel panicking on reboot. What I
have done so far is to create my partitions including a 200Mb /boot
partition, on this /boot I have *temporarily* installed a debian install
as / (root). I can then boot into this new install and I have all of my
raid partitions working. What I am trying to do now is to move the /
over to /dev/md0. I have checked the fstab on the raid partition, I have
created a new initrd for my kernel which includes the raid modules and
after trial and error I have managed to get the kernel to boot (up to
the kernel panick) without any errors about missing modules etc. But
then I get the following:
EXT3-fs: Unable to read superblock
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev2/root,
or to many mounted files systems
(could this be the IDE device where you in fact use
ide-scsi so that sr0 or sda or s0 is needed?)
EXT2-fs: Unable to read superblock
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev2/root,
or to many mounted files systems
(could this be the IDE device where you in fact use
ide-scsi so that sr0 or sda or s0 is needed?)
cramfs: wrong magic
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev2/root,
or to many mounted files systems
(could this be the IDE device where you in fact use
ide-scsi so that sr0 or sda or s0 is needed?)
warning: can't open /etc/mtab: No such file or dirtectory
pivot_root: No such file or directory
/sbin/init: cannot open dev/console: no such file
Kernel panic: Attempted to kill init!
Does anyone have a clue as to why it might be doing this or what I could
try to fix it??
Adam.
