Kernel panic: No init found.

Kernel panic: No init found.

[Nils Hagge]

Hi,

I try to run Hard Hat Linux from Montavista as described in the CDK 1.2
manual on an RPX lite board.
Unfortunately, the installation procedure is only for hosts with Red Hat
Linux, I hoped this would work for SuSE, too.

The problem has to do with the NFS filesystem. I can successfully download a
precompiled
Hard Hat Linux boot-image via TFTP and monitor this with the serial port.

The following is the output over the serial port...

 target file name  : rpxlite.srec

Do you know that problem or have an idea? Any help is welcome. Thank in

Hi Jari,

maybe you find something, that can help me further with this new

Sure. This link exists. But even if it didnt, it should work nevertheless,
if you take a look at the source file....

}

I added the "printk" statements in order to see the error codes.
And the output is the following:

VFS: Mounted root (NFS filesystem).
Freeing unused kernel memory: 36k init
Suchen nach /bin/init 2
Suchen nach /sbin/init 2

Thus the error is always no. 2, which is according to
"include/asm-ppc/errno.h" equal to
"No such file or directory".
And this is definitely not true. The files do all exist and are readable and
executable for all (u-g-o).

[Mike Hill]

I believe I have seen the same problem.  As I recall, we first started
seeing this problem when we removed a symlink (/opt/hardhat/devkit to /)
that was included in the MontaVista target directory.  We were told that we
had it add it back because some of the MontaVista libraries were built
incorrectly.  You may want to check to see if you have that symlink in your
target directory.

Oh, I forgot it, it happened to me in the past, too.
However, this just supports for building another application which can use the
library in the root/lib directory, when it run in the embedded systems...

Re: Kernel panic: No init found.

[mlocke]

you really should contact MV support for this kind of stuff (if you have
a support contract).

Ot is something with your basic setup.  Did you add the /opt.../target
directory to /etc/exports ? if so, did you restart the nfs server?  is
the nfs server running?

The files exist, but I'll bet that one or more of the shared libraries they
use don't.  Try execing /bin/sash (which is statically linked) instead.  Once
you get the prompt, do an:
    # ldd /bin/bash

and check to see that the libraries it's looking for are really there.
That link from /opt/hardhat/devkit/ppc/8xx/powerpc-hardhat-linux to / on the
target is usually the obscure problem when using the stuff from MV.  Dunno
what they were thinking...

Graham

I know that this link is used for the application to look for library when it
run.
When you build an application the linker use the directory:

/opt/devkit/hardhat/ppc/8xx/powerpc-hardhat-linux/lib

so that, when the application runs, it'll look for the lib in that directory,
this is the reason
they need the link.

And below is my problem, does anyone try to place the libary on different
directories?
for example, I need to put the limit share library on the rom, the other I'll put
it in another
directory in the harddisk. I think that I have to point out the library
directory,
this problem here is I want to use current applications, I don't want to rebuild
all of these.
does anyone know how to do it, or where can I have the information about it?

Thanks in advance,
Jari

Re: Kernel panic: No init found.

[Mark Hatle]

Well first make try passing init= as a kernel argument and point it to
something that should be on the root disk..

Second, if the disk is mounting right, most likely you are missing a
shared library and/or program interpreter.

Best way to debug this IMHO is to put a static shell there, ash.static,
sash, etc... pass init=<static shell>  then try to run the init process
manually.. you may get more informative error messages.

Re: Kernel panic: No init found.

[Michael G.]

Thanks Mark & Georg,

My /bin/init is link to /etc/rc .. I did try to mount it on the host
computer and try to run the init and it works but it would not work for the
MPC857 board.  I'll try the static shell debugging as you suggested ..
thanks again.

Kernel panic : No Init Found

[Fabien Oriede]

Hi all,
I have downloaded the SELF pRamdisk image from the DENX website and I placed it in FLASH at 0xFFC00000. The init file is in /sbin/init. When I try to boot Linux with "bootm ffa00000 ffc00000", Linux mounts the initrd image and next, it shows the message "No Init Found" even if I have "init=/sbin/init" in the kernel command line.
Does I need to activate MTD options in the kernel to use an initrd image ?
Thanks,
Fabien.
