init process failed over pxe with own initrd
Hello again, a little update: I have copied the original linuxrc file from the SuSE initrd into my own ramdisc... and it works. So, in which format has a linuxrc to be? It seems to be a statically linked binary, but I want to use a shell script, because it will fit all my needs. Can anybody help?? Markus

i am not really sure about this problem, but does your ramdisk contain the needed programs (required shell, all programs called from your script etc.)? Otherwise I would suspect it doesn't work because there is no program to interpret your shell script with. volkmar -- Volkmar Glauche Department of Neurology E-Mail glauche@uke.uni-hamburg.de UKE Hamburg Phone 49(0)40-42803-5781 Martinistr. 52 Fax 49(0)40-42803-9955 20246 Hamburg
Hi, thanks to all for the information, fixed it. Like just said, it was, that my C progs either the shell scripts based on shared libs. Tried a statically linked C program which runs perfectly. Thanks Markus
