Are there any kernel options needed to boot a kernel from ZBM? #761
|
Hi, I'm using Gentoo with ZFS as rootfs, and I'm trying to move to ZBM from GRUB. My kernel worked well with GRUB before but ZBM wouldn't boot from it, instead it freezes at the "booting /boot/..." line. I believe my kernel config is the cause because when I grab the kernel from a Gentoo LiveCD, ZBM can boot from it. From a suggestion in #745 I generated the image myself, but it wouldn't even boot the LiveCD kernel. My kernel config is the culprit here. Here's the config: link. Are there any kernel options I've missed that stopped my kernel from working with ZBM? I can provide more infos if needed. |

Not a clue. Compare your kernel config to what Void ships if you need a known-good point of comparison. |

It booted but I still don't understand why. I create another kernel config (here), built it, prebuilt image wouldn't work with it, rebuilt an image myself, and then it booted. I still don't understand why. But since it booted now, I'll mark this as answered. Thanks for the suggestion! |

I can't offer a solution yet, but I'll at least note for future folks who find this thread in a search that I, too, run into this issue with ZBM + |

Update from later in the night: using the upstream ZBM binaries (which I pulled onto my EFI partition when attempting to set up a Chimera install alongside this Gentoo install), I can load up the same Not entirely sure what to make of this; there's still too many potential variables to track down:
I highly doubt I'll have time to properly isolate any of the above any time soon, sadly. |
