@Dustin: I'd love if you could assist on this bug; to reproduce, boot: http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/dists/lucid/main/installer-armel/current/images/versatile/netboot/
with qemu-system-arm -M versatilepb -cpu cortex-a8 -m 256 -kernel vmlinuz -initrd initrd.gz what you will probably see is: [ 1.866499] Trying to unpack rootfs image as initramfs... [ 1.875076] rootfs image is not initramfs (junk in compressed archive); looks like an initrd [...] [ 5.347930] RAMDISK: Couldn't find valid RAM disk image starting at 0. which means that the initramfs support doesn't work. (I also tried with a gunzipped initrd to no luck) We want initramfs support as on the other plaforms, but that doesn't work for an unknown reason; apparently this work on real hardware, so likely specific to the qemu ARM loader. NB: the latest linux upload has CONFIG_CRAMFS=y on armel, so the RAMDISK is likely to become mountable as an initrd; that's not what we want, but it's a good workaround for now... -- Can't boot initramfses https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/524893 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
