Hi, I've tried to setup an install out of a chroot'ed environment (as known from i.e. gentoo-installs). My plan was to create my own initrd which is booted with pxe (I use this for installing Windows) based on Suse 8.2 & kernel 2.4.29, put up som dialog-box for getting the appropriate settings, create the xml-file for unattended install, download the initrd from a http-server and mount it in /mnt/root I go inside /mnt/root and call a "chroot . ./linuxrc" which starts the setup and download the root-filesystem. After the download it goes back to the initial setup-screen. When i switch to console 3 (CTRL+ALT+F3) i see following: Loading image "/90/boot/root" http: /90/boot/root (47890432 bytes) cramfs: "root 46768" Image size: 46768 kB mount: /dev/ram2: we need a loop device mount: using /dev/loop1 mount: /dev/loop1: No such device mount: /dev/ram2: No such device I've created these devices in my own initrd (and also inside the original initrd for testing without succeding) This setup should also work from a running linux-machine, not just from my initrd. Any ideas what could be wrong? Best regards Stefan Pahrmann
