In my continued effort to debug this booting issue, I rebuilt a new initrd
based on the default lenny kernel (2.6.26-1-486).
My procedure was this:
* gunzip and extract the voyage inird cpio file
* delete /lib/modules/2.6.26-486-voyage
* copy over the /lib/modules/2.6.26-1-486 from lenny
* repack the cpio with find * | cpio -ov -H newc | gzip -c - >
/mnt/cf/boot/initrd.img-2.6.26-1-486
* copy the vmlinuz-2.6.26-1-486 from lenny
* add an entry to grub
* copy the lib/moduels to the voyage real rootfs
I then booted voyage Feb 18 nightly build, which failed to boot properly.
I then booted with my test kernel/initrd which booted properly.

Hi Ben,
Since you are using serial console, I would suggest you put the console
output for us to investigate.

Sorry, I forgot to mention in my earlier mail. These blade servers do not
have a console at all, they only support serial installs.
I'm not sure exactly what the issue is yet, because after waiting a long
long time (10+min) it eventually gets past the serial driver loading, but
it never completes boot. It fails somewhere in the initrd. I will try and
log a boot sequence. Unfortunately, the voyage kernel disables the kernel
message timestamps so it will be harder to debug the length of time it
takes to boot. Can those timestamps be enabled via boot args?

Hi Ben,
I suggest you to use console terminal option when installing, or remove
ttyS0 option at grub prompt.

I'm trying to get voyage-current (as of yesterday) booted on a fairly old
Trasmeta based blade server by RLX. I am able to boot Ubuntu hardy, but
the 2.6.26-486-voyage kernel will not boot. It gets stuck after trying
to load the serial drivers. I chose Generic PC for install, and serial
console at 38400. (deafult for this system) I also had no problem
booting lenny.
