2.2.19pre - Kernel Panic: no init found

2.2.19pre - Kernel Panic: no init found

[Stéphane GARIN]

Hi,

I have a kernel panic with the patch 2.2.19pre16 that I test. I use a 2.2.18
Kernel very well. I used the last patch on this kernel and make my kernel
with sames parameters without error message. At the boot, I can see this :

...
eth0: RealTek RTL8139 Fast Ethernet at 0xa800, IRQ 10, 00:50:fc:0b:60:70
eth1: RealTek RTL8139 Fast Ethernet at 0xac00, IRQ 11, 00:50:fc:1f:c1:98
Partition check:
 hda: hda1 hda2 < hda5 hda6 hda7 hda8 hda9 hda10 >
Trying to vfree() noexistent vm area (c00f0000)
VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly.
Freeing unused kernel memory: 68k freed
Kernel panic: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel.



I tried to start with init=3 but no change. I send this information on this
mailing list because I think that could be a bug. Sorry if it is a wrong
action of me...

With Regards,
Stephane Garin

I get similar messages on 2.4.2 and 2.4.2-ac7 :

...
ACPI: Core Subsystem version [20010208]
ACPI: Subsystem enabled
ACPI: System firmware supports: C2 C3
ACPI: plvl2lat=10 plvl3lat=20

Kernel  panic: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel.

The solution was to pass acpi=no-idle on the kernel command line. The same
configuration worked fine with 2.4.1

I tried it but no change. I don't have ACPI messages during the boot... I
don't understand why there is this trouble...

RE: 2.2.19pre - Kernel Panic: no init found

[Stephane GARIN]

Hi,

I tried with init=/bin/sh but no success. I download a 2.2.18 Kernel and I
use patch 2.2.19pre16 but no success too... I don't know why there is this
error with this 2.2.19 kernel but not with my 2.2.18 kernel. I'm ready to
send all technical information about my computer (PIII 650 with 256Mb and a
ABIT BX133-RAID mothercard).

Stephane Garin

Hi

it would mean pass something like
init=/bin/sh
not the runlevel you want

looks like you have a lot of partitions.  maybe the kernel isn't using the
right one
for root filesystem? if using LILO to boot, make sure root= line for your new
kernel is the same as old one.  if using redhat on a large disk, it will set up

the first partition as /boot filesystem, so kernel will mount it ok, but won't
find any programs like init or sh on it.

Let me know how this works out.

RE: 2.2.19pre - Kernel Panic: no init found

[Stephane GARIN]

I checked this but there is no error in my lilo configuration file. root
value is the same for my images /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.18 (label=linux) and
/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.19pre (label=linuxpre).

All it's ok if I boot on "linux" but I have this Kernel panic if I boot on
"linuxpre". I used the same .config file (of 2.2.18 kernel) to make my new
2.2.19pre16 kernel.

I  have lot of partitions (8). The order is :

/dev/hda1  (mounted on /boot)
/dev/hda2  (extended)
/dev/hda5  (mounted on /usr)
/dev/hda6  (mounted on /home)
/dev/hda7  (swap)
/dev/hda8  (mounted on /)
/dev/hda9  (mounted on /tmp)
/dev/hda10 (mounted on /var)
