I've upgraded a system to 13.1 and I'm having trouble getting the initrd built correctly, or such that it will boot with root on nfs.

This is how I build it:

mkinitrd -k vmlinuz-xen -i initrd-xen -d /dev/nfs

If I don't add "-d /dev/nfs", the initrd is built without nfs and network support. However, when I boot it with:

root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=10.1.2.3:/srv/nfs/madrid/root rootflags=hard,intr,v3,wsize=8192,rsize=8192

root is never mounted, and the startup breaks out into a shell.

Did you check whether network is up?

Yep, the network is fine. To recover the system, I simply continue with mounting the nfs root: mount -t nfs -o rw,hard,intr,v3,etc 10.1.2.3:/srv/nfs/madrid/root /root then I hit ctrl-D and the system continues the boot-up.

Try "mkinitrd -d 10.42.8.254:/srv/nfs/madrid/root ..."

I'll try it, but it's not a solution.

using root=10.42.8.254:/srv/nfs/madrid/root (without nfsroot) works for me ...

Interesting, I wonder why that was changed. https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/filesystems/nfs/nfsroot.txt -- Per Jessen, Zürich (-1.4°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - dedicated server rental in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I do not think it was changed intentionally. nfsroot is still in scripts but I failed to understand what scripts do (well, I did not try that hard). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
