systemd [need help]

[sleepingsun]

I just try to build Gentoo system with system

Problem is i do everything like in Gentoo hand book and also build in kernel system ...

follow this:

Are you using initramfs? If so, you should be using the line with real_init as the initramfs needs to later switch to systemd.

Unless you have a really weird setup, usually the kernel should be able to find systemd - unless it is having problems mounting the correct root disk. So the first question that needs to be answered - did it mount the correct root disk?

I just setup with official guide just different what i do is put systemd in kernel and from guide i compile kernel and starting from zero i do like all things in guide and also i manual compile:

I think you're missing root=/dev/sda4 on the cmdline. The kernel needs to know which partition to boot from.

If that doesn't work, can you take a picture of the panic and upload it somewhere (e.g. https://imgbb.com)?

[eccerr0r]

Usually grub_mkconfig gets the right root disk but if the kernel doesn't have the right drivers for the disk built in, it'd also give this kind of error. Yes the screenshot of the panic would be interesting but check the panic and other initialization text whether it detected the hard drive or not. Keep in mind that grub detecting the hard drive is different from the kernel detecting the hard drive.

I try to fresh install but maybe i do something wrong all devices as visible with lspci and fdisk /dev/sda

But also i know that is still live version till is boot but should be all drivers compiled i do like i do with standard way just change for option for systemd but meyba i made some mistakes and cant find them

here its image upload from panic kernel

[eccerr0r]

Yeah, the picture indicates that it could not find the root filesystem - did not detect /dev/sda4 - and hence could not find systemd either.

Check your disk drivers, make sure you have the driver for your disk controller(SATA?), filesystem (ext4?), disk subsystem (sd), etc.

just play this few days and right now doesnt show anymore "root=" but still show VFS kernel panic

on old laptop i up and get same error and i try with genkernel with genkernel --install all and that way worked but i loved with manual system with make menuconfig ... if is posible ?

just do make && make modules_install and after make install than i do grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

as my computer doesnt have efi its older i think that new gentoo need vfat partition for bios install but not and its created like n create partition size 2M+ and with option t 4 but not put tham on fstab

My fstab is :

Grub is installed correctly else you would not see it trying to access /dev/sda4 as root.

I'm surprised genkernel didn't pick up your disk driver. Yes you can use make menuconfig and configure your own kernel, you may need to do that. What hardware do you have? Disk controller/southbridge? Might need to post your lspci and your kernel .config if your custom menuconfig doesn't work.

Try scrolling up when it panics and see if it found your hard disk. That is, if the driver for the disk subsystem is built in and not in your initramfs...

... which leads to whether or not your initramfs is being detected, when you do grub-mkconfig it should print out that you got a initramfs for your kernel - is this the case?

genkernel - working, but i wont without genkernel to up system
will posted my lspci and kernel configuration later in this post

[eccerr0r]

Well, it looks like my isp is having problems with dpaste.com so I can't look at that now. But the immediate feedback is that if you were intending to use an initramfs, it's not in /boot and thus you're not picking it up and using it. Initramfs can contain drivers and without them you may end up with a no-boot solution. Also real_init and real_root command line options are flags for initramfs to use, leading me to believe you were intending to use it.

But depending on your configuration you may not need initramfs and in this case you must have your disk drivers built into the kernel, but again without being able to see dpaste.com I can't tell.

everything's are ok installed but trick is that for standard init type of installation doesn't need initramfs but for systemd need it and i do it with "dracut"

and system is up and work fine but have another problem i install Gnome but doesn't up graphics

Please run

[djdunn]

you could always not use systemd and use like openrc

yap djdunn i know but i wont systemd mu main server run on openrc but this computer i wont to up like desktop with gui gnome

Hi
you might wish to consider
sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel-bin
