I recently tried 2.6.3 and it appeared to work fine but 2.6.4 won't
boot. When booting it says it can't mount root as ext3.
I have ext2/ext3 compiled in the kernel, it's not a module. The exact
error is:
Creating root device
Mounting root filesystem
Mount: error 6 mounting ext3
pivotroot: pivotroot(/sysroot,/sysroot/initrd) failed: 2
umount /initrd/proc failed: 2
Kernel panic: no init found. Try passing init= option to kernel
What is so different between 2.6.3 and 2.6.4 that would cause this?
Here is GRUB entry:
title Red Hat Linux (2.6.4)
root (hd0,1)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.4 ro root=/dev/hda2
initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.4.img
Many Thanks
