Hi,
I have a problem with syslinux.cfg. I can boot successfully by typing
on the boot: prompt but not from an entry in syslinux.cfg.
The command line is
boot: vmlinuz initrd=dvzip1.img root=/dev/ram ramdisk_size=8192<enter>
However if I enter the label of the kernel to boot, it fails to run
/sbin/init and in its absence /sbin/sh. The kernel boots correctly but
gets stuck after the following messages, after which I have to do a hard
reboot.
autodetecting RAID arrays
autorun ...
... autorun DONE.
VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly.
Freeing unused kernel memory: 64k freed
Could it be that the kernel command line is not formed correctly? Is
there a way to print out the kernel command line.
I am trying to create a bootable Iomega Zip disk using an internal Zip
drive. After some experimenting, I managed to boot off the disk but am
getting stuck at what is probably the last step.
Thanks in advance.
