Source: installation-guide Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
In 4.3.3. Manually copying files to the USB stick — the flexible way, there is a syslinux.cfg snippet : default vmlinuz append initrd=initrd.gz This particular one does not work for me : kernel panic when mount root. Seen on jessie / amd64 current hd-images. I *think* that this conf boots vmlinuz without appending the parameters. A working minimal conf from syslinux doc, adapted for hd-media is : DEFAULT linux LABEL linux KERNEL vmlinuz APPEND initrd=initrd.gz Cheers, Ludovic -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.2 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.utf8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system)
