Re: [Udpcast] corrupted PXE initrd on the website ?

Hello all,

Just trying out udpcast, using PXE after having recompiled the kernel to support a serial console (headless machines).

Make sure to include LZMA support into the kernel (patch is on udpcast site)

This is what I get : RAMDISK: Couldn't find valid RAM disk image starting at 0. Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(1,0)

It seems that the initrd is wrong (downloaded at http://udpcast.linux.lu/20060326/initrd). # file initrd initrd: data

It's not in bzip2 format, it's not cpio either.. so am I doing something really wrong or is the file corrupted ?

It's not corrupted, it's just compressed using lzma rather than bzip2
