 Posted: Fri Mar 31, 2017 3:13 am Post subject: [SOLVED] Grub2 hangs at loading initial ramdisk |
 |
|
Looked around a bit, unfortunately I'm short on solutions that would fix it. I am booting in Pure UEFI mode, so I may be missing something somewhere. I tried this without the add_efi_memmap with no difference.
I'm wondering If I don't have some framebuffer/console issue but in any case here's some configs I have, I'd be glad to get new ideas. Thanks.

rant: These grub generated boot entires are just crap
AFAIK set root='hd0,gpt1'
should be second partition
--
Have a look:
| Code: | ASUS-G75VW roman # blkid
/dev/sda1: PARTLABEL="grub" PARTUUID="4703ed5f-d593-4f4a-88f7-54fca61ea851"

2nd partition
| Code: | menuentry ' Besitzer: ' {
insmod part_gpt

echo ' boot entry for SanDisk SSD'

note

2nd partition
ignore the linux / initrd part, that is my box specific.
not sure if that is important SEC_TYPE="msdos"

off topic, just hint: when you use luks
| Quote: | | /dev/sda10: UUID="1af94d1a-15ee-4bb5-b91f-ee60ed7ad802" TYPE="crypto_LUKS" PARTLABEL="/home" PARTUUID="584e0fbc-9d30-45c1-b94e-ec0359923ef7" |
than you should use luks for everything except /Boot (like i do)
as you can see on my layout above, my root is => hdd => lvm2 => luks => ext4
anything else is according to the gentoo handbook for uefi hardware(i moved my installation over a year ago to this hardware) |

I assume it loads as I do get rc logs on every boot.
I'm going to play with grub.cfg as you suggested, but I'm leaning towards a EFI + Nvidia + framebuffer problem. I don't have the nvidia driver installed yet or nouveau for that matter, maybe that's the issue. I just assumed I could boot this thing far enough with generic video card support.
Edit: Looking at my laptop, I have set root='hd1,gpt2'. It seems my /boot & /boot/efi are inverted on this new install, so gpt1 is probably right. It should point on the kernel partition anyway. |

When you see the kernel than it is not a grub problem anymore.
You have now to check where it stops.
Is root mounted?
=> is init started and does it run to the end? where does it ends
-=>> grub usually points to the vfat boot partition, assuming uefi + gentoo handbook layout. OFC there are different ways to boot a box, thats out of scope now.
Some guys upload a picture from their smartphone from the screen where the Operating system hangs. that makes thing also much easier for us to help you.
--
I may suggest that you check with a livecd which kernel modules are in use, and recheck your kernel. recheck if your root gets mounted, check if it runs through init, where it stops. |

Then nothing, but as I hinted I get rc.logs entries for each boot attempt, they look like:

Some problem with lvm, I'm not too sure that's really important, I'm not consciously using it as far as I know. Some other issue with crypt-swap being created after attempting to mount it. Not quite reasons enough to blank the screen. |

All right got the lack of output on the screen fixed. I believe missing the following from my Kernel config was an issue:
CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE=y
CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE_DETECT_PRIMARY=y
And probably the nomodeset option for the nvidia card, but since I don't have the driver yet, I'm not sure. |
