[WBEL-users] mount: error 6 mounting ext3

[Fernando J. Díaz Vilela]

Hello All penguins:

I'm trying to upgrade kernel from 2.4 to 2.6.22 and when I reboot it with
new kernel break with kernel panic, displaying the next:

	...
	Mounting root filesystem
	Mount: error 6 mounting ext3
	Pivotroot: pivot_root (/sysroot, /sysroot/initrd) failed: 2
	Umount /initrd/proc failed: 2
	Mounted devfs on /dev
	Freeing unused kernel memory: 204 freed
	Kernel Panic: No init found, try passing init= option to kernel

I read same docs but I don't know what I did wrong, can you help me?

I can reboot with old kernel (see 5.- lilo) to do changes.

*1.- I upgrade gcc, make, binutils, util-linux, module-init-tools,
efs2progs, jfsutils, reiserfsprogs, xfsprogs, pcmcia-cs, quota-tools, PPP,
isdn4k-utils, nfs-utils, procps and oprofile to the last version as say in
Documentation/Changes,

*2.- I configure it with ext3 support (it's file systems part of .config)):
       #

       CONFIG_UFS_FS=m

*3.- My gcc is version 3.2.3-20

*4.- I launch make clean ; make bzImage ; make modules ; make
modules_install ; make install

*5.- I edit lilo like:

	prompt
	timeout=50
	default=linux
	boot=/dev/hda
	map=/boot/map
	install=/boot/boot.b
	message=/boot/message
	lba32

	image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.8.1.27Oct2004
		label=linux
		initrd=/boot/initrd-2.6.8.1.27Oct2004.img
		read-only
		append="root=LABEL=/"
		root=/dev/hda2

	image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.21-4.EL
		label=linux-2.4
		initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.21-4.EL.img
		read-only
		append="root=LABEL=/"

*6.- And it is my /etc/fstab:

LABEL=/		/		ext3		defaults	1 1
LABEL=/boot		/boot		ext3		defaults	1 2
None			/dev/pts	devpts	gid=5,mode=620	0 0
None			/proc		proc		defaults	0 0
None			/dev/shm	tmpfs		defaults	0 0
/dev/hda3		swap		swap		defaults	0 0
/dev/cdrom		/mnt/cdrom	udf,iso9660
noauto,owner,kudzu,ro	0 0
none			/sys		sysfs		noauto	0 0

Thanks for your time!
