Hello,
I have cloned and built the latest rc kernel using the default config but on boot, it stucks at "Loading initial ramdisk". I have tried booting after removing the "quiet" option from the kernel parameters just before selecting the kernel from the grub menu. I have also tried adding "dis_ucode_ldr" parameter to the initial parameters but all in vain.
How to look for the underlying issue and solve it?
Regards, Dileep
I had this issue as well. I found a solution on stackexchange(..I think) that I wanted to link here.. but can't seem to find it now. For reference, I was using Ubuntu. This was my case: * Possible reason - initrd.img file is too large I checked the size of initrd.img-<kernel name> at /boot. The file was ~500mb, much larger than the initrd for the kernel that came with Ubuntu(~40mb) * Possible solution - Before installing the kernel, change MODULES=most to MODULES=dep in /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf to generate smaller initrd.img files. The new initrd's for all other kernels I have installed afterwards have been ~55MB. Regards, Soumya Negi
