https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=118401 --- Comment #11 from Navin <navinp1912@xxxxxxxxx> --- There are 2 things. 1) You don't need to compile a kernel with debug symbols as of now or change any configuration. This doesn't seem something related to kernel configuration. 2) The images you posted in the bug report like drop.jpg Begin: Waiting for root file system ... Begin: Running /scripts/local-block ... done. Begin: Running /scripts/local-block ... done. Begin: Running /scripts/local-block ... done. […] done. Gave up waiting for root device. and drops me into an (initramfs) shell When you drop into (initramfs) shell, if you could get the /sbin/blkid output it would be great. It is strange that the keyboard doesn't work . I hope you have compiled the kernel after make config/menuconfig . a) make b) make modules_install c) make install Step (b) is missed sometimes by many. It installs the necessary drivers in /lib/modules/`uname -r` and them puts them in initramfs. So one possible reason is missing make modules_install. The size of initrd.x.y.img should easily tell you that. lsinitramfs /boot/initrd.img-4.6.0 should have the necessary modules like usbkbd.ko. In my case. lsinitramfs /boot/initrd.img-4.6.0+ | grep usbkbd lib/modules/4.6.0+/kernel/drivers/hid/usbhid/usbkbd.ko I guess it would be helpful to have these as well . I'm guess blkid is not returning anything could also mean your block layer disk is not being detected or something wrong. echo "KBU" cat /proc/partitions /sbin/blkid cat /proc/cmdline dmesg | grep -i blocks echo "/KBU" -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching the assignee of the bug.-- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
