 |
|
I've been trying to re-install the system for a while now. I have no error reports in the live media, but after I reboot, soon as it tries loading the initial ramdisk it displays this message in a different shade and font
| Code: | | EFI STUB: Loaded initrd from LINUX_EFI_INITRD_MEDIA_GUID device path |
I've tried some solutions for like-looking issues that I found on the forum but nothing helped and I've been stuck on that for some time now lol
I also have my .config on paste bin here
can someone shine some light for me? t-t

Tthanks for greeting me piettinger!
I followed your tutorial and now I indeed don't get the message I did before, but after the same load step (lol) it just turns off my keyboard and mouse and freezes there (._. ) |

I did that, read all the links and remade my kernel config from the ground, since I tampered with the .config thinking it couldn't never go wrong (lol)
Now it does pass that part but my kernel instantly panics after, I'm looking for the logs but I still haven't found them yet. Anyway, the kernel complains about not being able to mount the / fs in an unknown block-size or something, I assumed that could've been some error in my fstab file, which is:
| Code: |
# <fs> <mountpoint> <type> <opts> <dump> <pass>
#LABEL=boot /boot ext4 defaults 1 2
#UUID=58e72203-57d1-4497-81ad-97655bd56494 / xfs defaults 0 1
#LABEL=swap none swap sw 0 0
#/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom auto noauto,ro 0 0
#PARTUUID=c12a7328-f81f-11d2-ba4b-00a0c93ec93b /efi vfat umask=0077 0 2
/dev/sda1 /efi vfat umask=0077 0 2
#PARTUUID=0657fd6d-a4ab-43c4-84e5-0933c84b4f4f none swap sw 0 0
/dev/sda2 none swap sw 0 0
#PARTUUID=4f68bce3-e8cd-4db1-96e7-fbcaf984b709 / xfs defaults,noatime 0 1
/dev/sda3 / xfs defaults,noatime 0 1
#PARTUUID=0a88d45e-01 /mnt/ext_disk auto auto,user 0 0
|
I tried specifying mounting points without using PARTUUID since iirc that'd demand that I provided an inital ram fs and I sort of disabled that in my kernel, remade my grub.cfg but it's still panicking 
Let me know if you'll need more information aa |

This is indicate your kernel command line option "root=" have mistake or missing. It have nothing to do with fstab from the booting sequence point of view.
You should check your "boot loader" (for example grub) to see if the root= is correct or not. |

Kernel panics are not logged to disk. You need to transcribe the relevant lines from the console. This is easiest with a serial console, but netconsole can also work. If you cannot use either of those, there is always the option of photographing the screen, then manually transcribing from the photograph for us. (Please do not post the picture directly. It cannot be quoted.) | tarffie wrote: | | Anyway, the kernel complains about not being able to mount the / fs in an unknown block-size or something, I assumed that could've been some error in my fstab file |
As pingtoo notes, your error is too early for fstab to matter. If you need further help, please post the kernel command line as set by grub, and the last few lines of error output from the panic, verbatim. |

| I'm not sure how I did but.. I did enabled it initramfs and re-generated my grub.cfg file, after that, my system still warns me as error at boot but it continues normally and then boots up to my display manager. Since my initial problem was solved, I'm gonna edit the original post as solved, thanks everyone! |
