[opensuse-factory] beta1 live-cd mayhem: no initrd
I have installed the system using the KDE4-LiveCD of beta1. The initrd has not been generated, there's only a orphaned symlink to it. I've booted up the LiveCD again and I'm trying to generate the initrd manually, but I forgot what needs to be done to create the device files in the chroot environment. I knew that before, but I forgot and can't think of a way to formulate the Google search. Thanks. Boot Live-CD, then: linux:~ # mkdir /tmp/local linux:~ # mount /dev/sda4 /tmp/local linux:~ # chroot /tmp/local linux:/> mkinitrd Kernel image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.25-rc9-17-default Initrd image: /boot/initrd-2.6.25-rc9-17-default node name not found /dev/sda4: error opening volume Root device (/dev/sda4) not found ReadPartitions(): Failed to open dir /sys/block at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10.0/Bootloader/Tools.pm line 280. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
