Re: FC6T3 x86-64 booting issue

Hi,
Thank for the answer.
I have just tried make the initrd compressed but the result is the same...
I didnt have problems booting with FC6T2 on the same machine. I have switched to FC6T2 because I could not apply any updates for some strange dependencies with nautilus package after t3 was released.

cheers

tomas

The initrd image is missing in  /boot directory.
I have tried to fix the issue by creating initrd image as suggested by alan <alan clueserver org>: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

 I've been unsuccessful in installing t3 from dvd on a standard intel

 ( not root ) that's lvm. I asssume this will all be fixed for t4.
 Has anybody figured out how to install before then?
Yep.  I posted it earlier.


After you do the install, boot with the "rescue option" on the install dvd.

When you get a prompt:

chroot /mnt/sysmount
cd /boot
mkinitrd --image-version --nocompress initrd `uname -r`

Then add this line to the /etc/grub.conf entry:
initrd /initrd-<kernelversion>

save, sync and reboot.

with following result:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- root(hd0,0)
FileSystem Type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.17-1.2630.fc6 ro root=/dev/basevg/rootlv rhgb quiet

initrd /initrd-2.6.17-1.2630.fc6
[Linux-initrd @ 0xdf916000, 0x5b9800 bytes]

Error 28: Selected item cannot fit into memory
Press any key to continue...

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Any ideas how to make FC6T3 boot?

Have you tried without the "--nocompress" option?
