Hello :)
I am trying to install gentoo hardened on a KVM Vserver. I did switch to the hardened toolchain und did a whole system rebuild. So far everything worked without a problem. The only problem is, when I use the hardened kernel, the system does not boot.
There is no output into logfiles, nor can I see the output at boottime.
I tried various .configs; one with gernkernel, one 99% copied from the working vanilla-kernel and one made from scratch. same result

Does anyone have any experience witch such issues? Do you want all the .config files?

[Edit:] sorry, got cut off there!
As previously stated, I have no issues at all, when I am using the vanilla kernel. But using the hardened kernel, even with all the "hardened stuff" disabled results in an unbootable system. I think one of the secutity patches conflicts with my system. Is there any way to find out, what it is?

This may be a long shot, but I was looking at this page over here ("Setting up grsecurity + gentoo in a VM"), and noticed this part:
Quote:
Make sure you disable Paravirtualized guest support under Processor type and features in any case. Enabling that causes the system to not boot.

Thanks for sour reply!

The option was disabled in all my Kernels :/

I tried a never version of hardened-sources, no improvement

I will reinstall my system once again tomorrow.... maybe it helps

If the system boots correctly under vanilla, then the problem is almost certainly related to the hardened kernel itself. A full system reinstall is unlikely to fix things. Please try to obtain the boot output.
