Do you have SCSI support? Was lilo installed correctly? Is Lilo installed on the mbr? On Dec 3, 2011 11:10 PM, "samwyse" <samwyse@gmail.com> wrote:
OK, I selected the JFS file system to be compiled into the kernel. Still
couldn't boot.
I found a note on the wiki about booting without an initrd, I followed
the suggestions, still no luck.
I changed all /=m/ to /=y/ in the .config file to compile *everything*
into the kernel, found that 'make all' asked me some questions, but still didn't feel the love. :(
On the other hand, I've noticed that every time I try to mount my root
file system after booting from ISO, I have to run fsck.jfs first. I haven't tried mounting it read-only, but it appears that the ISO isn't cleanly unmounting everything when I shutdown. I'm not really wed to using a JFS root, so I may try the more conventional ext4/3/2 and see how they work.

If you don't compile it into the kernel you must create an initrd.img
with the modules in there...some you will load after the kernel has load. Otherwise compile into the kernel the easier way..
If you want sure.. but i don't think you haven't to add it…

CONFIG_JFS_FS=m
Apparently I did not. :)
To whom should I suggest adding a warning about this in the guide?

I only recently discovered Crux, while looking for a small distro to
use as the basis of a virtual appliance. I downloaded the ISO, created a VM, and followed the directions in the handbook to install. For some crazy reason, I decided to give JFS a try as my root file system. Unfortunately, my disk won't boot. I can boot from the ISO and mount the disk just fine, but the VM's Phoenix BIOS skips over the disk and goes straight to PXE.
