Hello together,
to speed up my old notebook I compiled a zen kernel (using PKGBUILD), but when I try to boot it, the following failure appears:
"Kernel panic - not syncing: No init found. Try passing init=option to kernel [..]"
When passing init=/sbin/init:
"Failed to execute /sbin/init"
I really hope somebody is able to help me, google wasn't. Thanks!
Offline
For some reason PKGBUILDs of the zen kernels use their own mkinitcpio config files - might be your problem.
Offline
Thank you for the fast answer.
If that's the problem, what should I do to fix this?
Offline
Compare /etc/mkinitcpio.conf and /etc/mkinitcpio-zen.conf. You can run "mkinitcpio -k 2.6.34-ZEN -c /etc/mkinitcpio.conf -g /boot/kernel26-zen.img" to build a mkinitcpio image for the zen kernel using mkinitcpio.conf.
Did you change the config file from AUR in any way? If it's not mkinitcpio's fault, then maybe you removed too much from the config.
Offline
Thanks a lot. Output:
niklas@nikis-laptop ~ % sudo mkinitcpio -k 2.6.34-ZEN -c /etc/mkinitcpio.conf -g /boot/kernel26-zen.img

I used the zen-kernel-seed and modified it to work with my system. Maybe I didn't include all necessary drivers, I'll check that.
Offline
Apparently, your zen kernel is called 2.6.34, not 2.6.34-ZEN. You can pacman -Ql package_name_of_the_zen_kernel to see its files.
What AUR or ABS "package" did you use to build your kernel?
Offline
mkinitcpio worked, but I still can't boot correctly (same failure).
I used http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=30330 + the BFQ patches like described in the comments.
When I missed some drivers, can you give me a hint where I've got to look for? I used the zen-seed & lspci -n & http://kmuto.jp/debian/hcl/ when I was building the config. Once again, thank you for the help.
Offline
You're probably missing something which has to do with the disk/disk controller. You can use "localmodconfig" instead of "menuconfig" or similar to get a config crafted for your computer.
Offline
Ok, I changed menuconfig to localmodconfig, compiled, and it's the same as before. "Kernel Panic [..]".

I appreciate your help.

If it aborts, then it doesn't finish creating the package...? If it finishes correctly and pacman -Ql kernel26-zen shows similar stuff pacman -Ql kernel26 would show and you have proper entry in menu.lst, I don't know what's the problem.
I can give you my kernel26-zen-2.6.34-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz package if you want (and use i686), built with a more or less stock config. You can also just try building the package as it is in AUR, without modifying the config.

Are you positive your root partition is on /dev/sda1? You could try root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/0e005641-5ab2-4dfd-b820-6efea6e48391 instead, as in the stock kernel entry.
Offline
Yes, /dev/sda1 is my root partition, but I changed menu.lst and rebooted:
VFS: Can not open root device "dev/disk/by-uuid/0e005641-5ab2-4dfd-b820-6efea6e48391" or unknown-block(0,0)
Please append a correct root boot option; here are the available partitions:

It's like somebody doesn't want me to switch the kernel :-D.

whenever I tried to have the zen kernel build via packer or PKGBUILD it always failed
finally i compiled it myself
Here is the 2.6.34 zen kernel source I use; they are livecd kernel kits with source
http://multidistro.com/NFLUXNEW/SQ4/kki … -arch.html
if you just want kernel source its here; 
http://multidistro.com/NFLUXNEW/SQ4/kkits/x86.html
works great on both ARCH and slackware!
Offline
Does it already include BFQ? If not, how can I patch the source to use it?
Thanks a lot for all the help.
Offline

no, I think it doesn't as it is now, the source .config in mine is setup for everything
just do
make menuconfig and choose whatever
it is the same exact kernel source from AUR
however; I found these bfq patches for it

ok, so I just applied the patches and am gonna compil kernel
patch -p1 < ../0001-block-prepare-I-O-context-code-for-BFQ.patch
patch -p1 < ../0002-block-add-cgroups-kconfig-and-build-bits-for-BFQ.patch
patch -p1 < ../0003-block-introduce-the-BFQ-I-O-scheduler.patch
and i adjust the IO Schedulers section of kernel and set bfq to y??
thats what i did
is bfq that much better than cfq or what?
Offline
Got things working. I compiled from source und used localmodconfig, not as lightweight as i wanted but ok.
Thanks for all the help!
