Re: Re: [ILUG-BOM] error in grub.conf

hi pramila, one guess is that ur new kernel does not support the required file system.you can try this boot ur system using a rescue img and make a initrd image which has the missing file system modules eg: mkinitrd /boot/initrd-new.img <kernel-version> --with=ext3 --with=jbd and give this in ur grub conf initrd /initrd-new.img since u have a scsi disk u may need other modules 2. do include that in ur initrd img regards, poornima On Fri, 30 Apr 2004 pramila wrote : >thanks 4 help, > >/dev/sda1 worked actually mkinitrd >but now i am getting error >Kernel panic: no init found.

>> For Dilip About boot <<
by BIJU KRISHNAN 29 Apr '04

29 Apr '04

Dear Dilip, For a network instalation make two disks 1. with bootdisk image 2. with netdrv image at the boot: prompt type boot: linux askmethod after a few screens you will be asked for the which method to go for. Few necessary checks: 1. Disable/Modify the firewall on you server 2. Start DHCP incase you will be assigning client IP's using DHCP. And please try the installation using FTP, with anonymous login.....I was'nt able to do that..! I was able to install using FTP source using a VLU. Share ur expereince. bye rgds bijucyborg __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Win a $20,000 Career Makeover at Yahoo! HotJobs http://hotjobs.sweepstakes.yahoo.com/careermakeover
