syslinux: Loading ../linux... ok
by 4dr14n from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5RBG1)
This is my second time asking help (the first being about the same issue in 4channel.org/g/fglt) in my two years of using Linux...
I installed syslinux as the bootloader, but the boot process does not go beyond:
Code:Loading ../linux... okshowing no errors or logs.
syslinux.cfg:
Code:PROMPT 1
TIMEOUT 100
DEFAULT oasis
LABEL oasis
LINUX ../linux
APPEND root=UUID="50c2b3e3-33cf-4fd9-8dbc-0d5f36fa26ac" init=/bin/sinit ro nomodeset noinitramfsI have already tried several APPEND options (nomodeset, noinitramfs), tried using the text menu UI, changed from /dev/sda3 to UUID, correctly dd if=.../mbr.bin of=/dev/sda (instead of sda3), recompiled the kernel with several different settings (ext4 and ext2 separately, instead of using ext4 driver for ext2; and some others, as pointed out from the gentoo handbook) etc...
I am about to try to boot again and use ROSH, https://wiki.syslinux.org/wiki/index...Hell(rosh.c32); I might also clean up and redo everything, but partition the disks as sda1 and sda2, instead of sda1 and sda3.
lsblk:
Code:NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
loop0 7:0 0 2.6G 1 loop /usr/lib/live/mount/rootfs/filesystem.squashfs
sda 8:0 0 931.5G 0 disk
sda1 8:1 0 256M 0 part /mnt/oasis/boot
sda3 8:3 0 931.3G 0 part /mnt/oasis
sdb 8:16 1 7.3G 0 disk
sdb1 8:17 1 7.3G 0 part /usr/lib/live/mount/mediumNote: I am installing a non beginner friendly distro, https://github.com/oasislinux/oasis, and I am aware of that.
Any help is appreciated... :)
