[pocket-linux] (no subject)

[philgoude00 at free.fr]

Hi all !

I'm sorry cause I've made a mistake (I've subscribed the other mailing list :\)
Fortunately, Dave sent me a msg telling me to go here !

So here i am ! I send you my previous mail (even if Dave told me he has
forwarded it...) : "


Hi all,

   I've been reading the Chapter 2 of your manual and i've made the two f=
irst
diskettes with a new kernel 2.6.7 : downloaded sources from kernel.org,
compiled it without any modules and only with the following options : 386
processor, Floppy disk, RAM disk, Second extended (ext2) filesystem, Cons=
ole on
virtual terminal ;
   Then I couldn't find the boot.b file in my /boot, but i've read that i=
t has
been removed from the lastests lilos (is that right ?), mine is something
ending by "5.8";
   I've filled up the root diskette with the bash binary, symlinked sh an=
d all
...
   On reboot, I write "bootdisk init=3D/bin/sh", the kernel boots and ask=
s me for
the root disk. I change the diskette and then it tries to boot but it giv=
es me
a "Kernel Panic, no init found , try passing ....". Same result if i try
init=3D/bin/bash...

   I've, then, download the two images of diskette from your site and tes=
ted
them with best result : it boots up to the prompt (NORMAL !)

   So, my first question is : can i make the pocket linux with a kernel 2=
.6.7 ?
My second is, do i need to copy more onto the boot floppy ?
May I pass another "init=3D" option to the kernel (or in lilo.conf) ?

Thanks a lot for this guide !!
Keep having fun with Linux

Waiting for any advice to unstuck me :\ "
