I'm trying to configure a minimal 2.4.17 to boot
on my redhat 8 box. No modules, no sound, nothing fancy at all.
One problem I'm having is it only works if I boot with root=/dev/hda9
instead of red hat's usual root=LABEL=/
I thought I had configured in the proper partition support.
Can anyone point out what's missing from my .config (or from 2.4.17)
to allow booting with root=LABEL=/ ?
.config follows.
Thanks,
Dan

You are missing a kernel patch. The LABEL is a function of the filesystem
and not the partition, and the kernel doesn't check the filesystems for
labels... One option is to just give the right device for root, another
is to add a patch (posted to l-k about 1.5 years ago) which added kernel
support for this, and a third is to add an initrd which figures out the
label in user space and uses that to mount the root fs.
Cheers, Andreas

You need to build an initrd for that to work. That is actually handled by
the scripts in the initrd, so without those...
One workaround to get the ramdisk without having to use modules goes like
this:
Do a make modules_install anyway. That sets up the directory layout in
/lib/modules, without which mkinitrd fails. Remove any modules that get
installed (2.4 makefiles will probably build and install modules even if
CONFIG_MODULES is not set).
Then build the kernel and do a make install, and the /sbin/installkernel
script will do the right thing.
Not tested, but given my understanding of how RH8 boots, should work.
Or else just pass the device.
