Actual Results: kernel panic: no init found Expected Results: normal boot with new kernel Additional info:
pivot_root (/sysroot, /sysrootinitrd) failed:2 that line just looks wrong, any ideas Jeremy ?
Not unless mkinitrd has been modified by hand or they have some sort of fs corruption... from mkinitrd echo "pivot_root /sysroot /sysroot/initrd" >> $RCFILE
mea culpa, the incorrect "pivot_root" line was a typo on my part. The correct message is indeed: pivot_root (/sysroot, /sysroot/initrd) failed: 2
