 |
|
Hi peeps. I went away to Funtoo for a while and finally got around to migrating back to Gentoo. Backed up my data, mostly following the install guide. Running LVM on LUKS, and some of the default choices in the book I don't care for. Also I've been using zen-sources via git for at least a decade.
But when I try to boot, I get some error. Not important, as I fall back to the default gentoo-sources.
But that gives me a boot loop with no information as to why. This is what I see. No error message, just "Loading initial ramdisk ..." and a reboot.
I'm stuck.
Here is the decompressed initramfs and kernel config. ./etc/passwd and ./etc/shadow have been removed for security reasons.
Can anyone spot what is triggering the reboot loop? Having just looked, I am going to try removing "watchdog", but if that is the cause, I'd still expect to see some kind of message before reboot.
TIA,
NQS

how was that initramfs generated? it looks like a dracut one but the dates in the init are quite old.
It's hard to know what went wrong if it just reboots, can you make the kernel wait longer if it panics?

if you enable this:
| Code: | | # CONFIG_DRM is not set |
you will get the option CONFIG_FB_EFI
| Code: | Device Drivers --->
Graphics support --->
Frame buffer Devices --->
<*> Support for frame buffer devices --->
[*] EFI-based Framebuffer Support |
I would try to enable these. |
I've activated these, but I'm unsure if it will help, seeing as the system is pre-EFI. I think the next generation is EFI.
| Quote: | | Also I would change this: CONFIG_PANIC_TIMEOUT=-1 to zero to see if a kernel panic happens. |
Done, and compiling it as I type this.
Skimmed. I'll be in hospital for the next two days, so I'll try to read it more in depth if they don't drug me too much.
