PostPosted: Thu Aug 23, 2012 3:32 pm    Post subject: help: dracut null pointer exception Reply with quote

when I use genkernel, the boot process is normal.
but when I switch to dracut, sometimes the PC can boot and sometimes can not, and there's alwasys exceptions in the dmesg.

I switch on the dracut debug switch, but I found all the exceptions are before the first dracut debug output.

How to attach file in this forum :!: :?:

Here's the first exception:
Code:
IOMMU: Prepare 0-16MiB unity mapping for LPC

I tried genkernel with the same config I've been using with dracut and seem to have a similar problem, but the oops looks different.

Changing from (e)udev to systemd solves the problem! :)
