[Xen-devel] mkinitrd fails on SLES10

["Patil, Ashwin Channabasavaraj" <Ashwin.Patil@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

 

I compiled the Xen-unstable source using the instructions given in the README on “SLES10 GMC”. I used the following commands:

 

#make world

#make install

 

The next step was to create an initrd for Xen. I executed the following commands and got the errors.

 

#depmod 2.6.16.29-xen

#mkinitrd -v -f --with=aacraid --with=sd_mod --with=scsi_mod initrd-2.6.16-xen.img 2.6.16-xen

Unknown option: -v

Try mkinitrd -h

 

I understand that mkinitrd under SLES10 doesn't have the -v and --with options. I added the “aacraid, sd_mod, scsi_mod” to “INITRD_MODULES” section in “/etc/sysfconfig/kernel” and executed

 

 #mkinitrd initrd-2.6.16.29-xen.img 2.6.16.29-xen

 

/sbin/mkinitrd: line 2965: initrd-2.6.16.29-xen.img/etc/fstab: No such file or directory

No '/' mountpoint specified in initrd-2.6.16.29-xen.img/etc/fstab

 

I could find two mails related to my problem but couldn’t find any solution in the archives.

 

Can anyone help me in continuing my build of initrd for Xen on SLES10 or point me in the right direction?

 

Thanks and regards,

Ashwin
