Messages sorted by: [ date ] [ thread ] [ subject ] [ author ] Thanks for posting this. I wanted to do this once or twice in the past, but never bothered to figure it out. I will be trying it soon... I have a Mondo Backup of a server that I want to move to less powerful hardware, and hopefully this will do the trick.

Hello, Fabian. Sorry for the very late answer. You are right, this did the trick. However, there was a thing to add to make it work, we need to mount the /proc filesystem on the destination root directory for the mkinitrd to work properly. Else, thank you very much for the help you provided! The quick fix is to simply copy the /boot/initrd-xx.img file from a working installated drive on the destination server to the old drive partition, and it will work (you must update the grub entry of course). However, if you don't have such a working hard drive, you will need to recompile this initrd file. Therefore I post the complete procedure below to move a hard disk drive with a working CentOS 4 system from one server to another one, not having the same SATA chips, or from a PATA to an SATA or vice/versa. If you don't do this, then you might receive this kind of error: Uncompressing Linux... Ok, booting the kernel.

i hav Win98 as my active partition and Linux in my extended partition.I installed Linux in my box with the IDE as http://www.linuxhospital.com/read/mount-error-6-mounting-ext3.html Primary slave.So i hav WIndows in hdb1 and Linux in hdb2 which means /boot is hdb5 and / is hdb6 and /swap is hdb7. Now after finishing my installation i was able to http://lists.ethernal.org/oldarchives/cantlug-0505/msg00136.html enter my Linux box using a boot disk as i had installed LiLo in First boot record. But after installation i recognised that my IDE was in primary slave and so wanted to error 6 convert it back to primary master.I did the same and when i boot into Linux using the boot disk i get this following message and the kernel panics... mount: error 6 mounting ext3 pivotroot: pivot_root (/sysroot,sysroot/initrd) failed: 2 freeing unused kernel memory: 304k freed kernel panic: no init found. try passing init=option to kernel I can recognise that there se mount : error 6 mounting ext3 location: error 6 mounting linuxquestions.com - date: July 30, 2009 Hi All, I have been getting an error of this kind whenever i try to boot. i try to boot a target pc with a bootable cd created out of my Kernel image(vmlinuz-2.6.18)and the initrd image (2.6.18) using the command /sbin/mkbootdisk on my linux pc. *********************************************************** Red Hat nash version 3.5.14 starting Mounting /proc filesystem Creating block devices Creating root device Mounting root filesystem mount: error 6 mounting ext3 pivotroot: pivot_root(/sysroot, /sysroot/initrd) failed: 2 umount /initrd/proc failed: 2 Freeing unused kernel memory: 224k freed Kernel panic: No init found.
