I would like to start off by thanking everybody for their help with my last question, Much appreciated. I am currently testing kernel 2.6.0-test3, specifically the initramfs feature, under VMWare Upon booting I get the following: Dentry cache hash table entries: 16384 (order: 4, 65536 bytes) Inode-cache hash table entries: 8196 (order: 3, 32768 bytes) Mount-cache hash table entries: 512 (order: 0, 4096 bytes) ->(three characters, an 'o' with an I superimposed, a carat^, and a white smilyface) Kernel panic: populate_root: bogus mode: 0 In idle task - not syncing ===Creation details - verbose=== I have created a directory tree on my system that I would like to use as a root fs. I then created (from the root of that structure) the cpio archive by using find | cpio -ov > ../filesystem.cpio cd .. gzip -9 filesystem.cpio I then copied the file into the proper location in the source tree, compiled and had everything boot nicely. I used syslinux to boot the kernel from a disk (only way I could get it to work on the virtual disk image to boot under VMWare) ===End of Creation details=== How would you suggest I go about fixing this problem, or do you require more information? Also, is there a good detailed FAQ or a HOWTO document available online that I might be able to refer to? Once again, thank you for your assistance.
