Subject: problem mounting ramdisk
Date: Thu, 04 Jan 2001 19:50:13 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <3A54C5E5.23A76888@dspace.de> (raw)


hello,

My linux (modified kernel 2.2.14) starts
on my custom PPC board (PPC750/128MB)
but when I mount the ramdisk, the kernel issues:

...
Serial driver version 4.27 with no serial options enabled
ttyS00 at 0x12000000 (irq = 16) is a 16550A
RAM disk driver initialized:  16 RAM disks of 4096K size
RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0
attempt to access beyond end of device
01:00: rw=0, want=8196, limit=4096
dev 01:00 blksize=1024 blocknr=8195 sector=16390 size=1024 count=1
EXT2-fs error (device ramdisk(1,0)): read_block_bitmap: Cannot read block bitmap - block_group = 1, block_bitmap = 52428800
attempt to access beyond end of device
01:00: rw=0, want=16386, limit=4096
dev 01:00 blksize=1024 blocknr=16385 sector=32770 size=1024 count=1
EXT2-fs error (device ramdisk(1,0)): read_block_bitmap: Cannot read block bitmap - block_group = 2, block_bitmap = 20971520
attempt to access beyond end of device
01:00: rw=0, want=24580, limit=4096
... (and so on)

... (later)
VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem).
Freeing unused kernel memory: 40k init 28k prep 4k pmac 12k open firmware
...

... (last)
EXT2-fs error (device ramdisk(1,0)): ext2_read_inode: unable to read inode block - inode=4001, block=16389
Kernel panic: No init found.  Try passing init= option to kernel.
Rebooting in 5 seconds..
...

The fs image contains no shell at the moment, so the last kernel panic is okay.

What is the Problem with EXT2-fs error ?
I used the following script on my x86 host (<- the problem ?)
to build the compressed image:

#!/bin/sh
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ram bs=1k count=4096
mke2fs -m0 /dev/ram
mkdir -p /mnt/ram
mount /dev/ram /mnt/ram
(cd file_system; cp -a * /mnt/ram)
umount /mnt/ram
rmdir /mnt/ram
dd if=/dev/ram of=fs_images/ramdisk.image bs=1k count=4096
(cd fs_images;gzip -v9f ramdisk.image)

every help would be appreciated...

bye
Andreas
