Hi all,
Well, I'm close to fixing this problem (i think)
I've unpacked the 2.6.18-1 initrd and had a look at the "init" file.
Then I compared this with the 2.6.15-1 (base) kernel init file in its
initrd
There's a difference!
Namely after the base init does its mkblkdevs (make bulk devices?)
there are the following lines
rmparts sdb
rmparts sda
dm create isw_cdgbeijgjh_iaa 0 1250275846 striped 2 256 8:0 8:16 0
dm partadd isw_cdgbeijgjh_iaa
Okay. I think this is the dm commands to access the container? If so,
then all I need to do is put these commands into my new kernel initrd
and *bham* I'm cooking with gas?!
I've fixed all the device mapper errors by upgrading dmraid....
So my question is: do I simply copy and paste these into the new
"init" file at much the same place and then repack the new initrd for
2.6.18-1.
How do I repack/recreate the initrd (mixed results on google)?
Thanks. Hadders
Found it, find . | cpio -o -c | gzip -9 > /boot/initrd-kernel_version.img
I had no idea there was so many ways to setup the initrd.
