 |
|
Hello
I am having problems booting sytem for first time after install. Here are some facts:
-It's -hardened (even tho I think this is not important in this case)
-I am using genkernel for compile (-||-)
-It's KVM guest with virtio disks
-I am using LILO with this config: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/492416/
-My kernel .config looks like this: http://pastebin.com/ZMuYDfG6
-Error message I am getting is this:

.. and than it just reboots on it's self back to LILO (and so on..)
I 've googled around for that last line(s) and found something about ramdisk sizes so I recompiled kernel and put 32M there but same story.
Please can someone give me idea what's wrong here..? Could this be something about new kernels as I 've run'd this same kernel and setup on same hardware and configurations before.. ?
ty.

Try doubling the ramdisk size. I've also had a lot of trouble running a test kernel and an initramfs with qemu-kvm until I set the former with a larger initramfs size. Kernel parameter ramdisk_size didn't change a thing.

Thanks VinzC
So you have it set on 64M in your config? As I already increased it to 32M

You're welcome. I don't remember what size I used but I know I doubled until it worked  .
