In FC3T2, I keep getting these messages when I try unzipping and
mounting my initrd for the 603 kernel:
[root at bobcp4 mnt]# cp /boot/initrd-2.6.8-1.603.img /tmp/initrd.gz
[root at bobcp4 mnt]# gunzip /tmp/initrd.gz
[root at bobcp4 mnt]# mount -o loop /tmp/initrd /mnt/initrd
mount: you must specify the filesystem type
[root at bobcp4 mnt]# mount -o loop /tmp/initrd -t ext2 /mnt/initrd
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0,
or too many mounted file systems
(could this be the IDE device where you in fact use
ide-scsi so that sr0 or sda or so is needed?)
[root at bobcp4 mnt]# mount /tmp/initrd /mnt/initrd -o loop -t ext2
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0,
or too many mounted file systems
(could this be the IDE device where you in fact use
ide-scsi so that sr0 or sda or so is needed?)
[root at bobcp4 mnt]# mount /tmp/initrd /mnt/initrd -o loop
mount: you must specify the filesystem type
What am I doing wrong here?
