Hello,
I am unable to load mini-kernel.
Folowing are the details.
I am using redhat linux AS 4.0.
I have patched kernel 2.6.12.1 with mkexec patch "mkexec-patch-2.6.12-2.1".
Then after booting through this patched kernel (mkexec),
I have compiled and loaded the mkexec module.
Then I have compiled minikernel
with block device driver (SCSI : Qlogic device driver). File system, swap, SMP support , networking is not enabled in this minimized kernel.
I am using /dec/sdc5 partition to save the dump.
=========================================
[root@rmdevlin1 ~]# ls -l /dev/sdc5
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 37 Dec 12 2006 /dev/sdc5
==========================================
mkexec parametrs are :
=====================================
[root@rmdevlin1 ~]# cat /proc/mkexec/*
0x800025
/boot/initrd-minik.img
16
ro console=tty0 lpj=2367488 no-hlt dump_delay=20
/boot/minik-2.6.12.bin
1
======================================
I faced one problem while creating initrd image:
=============================================
[root@rmdevlin1 ~]# mkinitrd --with=mkdump initrd.img 2.6.12.1
No module mkdump found for kernel 2.6.12.1, aborting.
==============================================
Then I created initrd image by executing: #mkinitrd initrd.img 2.6.12.1
Then I have copied this image to /boot as initrd-minik.img.
I am not able to boot minikernel. Is it because of initrd image?
Am I missing something in the configuration?
