Hello,
I was able to install SYSLINUX on a disk image and get the kernel I built to start booting Linux with QEMU pointing to a loopback device associated with the disk image. However, at some point far into the boot process, I get a kernel panic. I can't read the beginning of the error messages that the kernel prints, because the errors run off the screen.
I copied the bzImage onto the disk image, and I'm not sure where to go from there. Is the next step to build the initrd image? I don't yet know how to get the kernel to mount a device so it can find the root file system.
Any help is appreciated.
Patrick
