unable to boot JFS root on Crux 2.7
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. Here's my lilo.conf: # # /etc/lilo.conf: lilo(8) configuration, see lilo.conf(5) # lba32 install=text boot=/dev/sda image=/boot/vmlinuz label=CRUX root=/dev/sda1 read-only append="quiet" # End of file Here's my fstab: # # /etc/fstab: static file system information # # <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> /dev/sda1 / jfs defaults 1 1 #/dev/#SWAP# swap swap defaults 0 0 #/dev/cdrom /cdrom iso9660 ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0 #/dev/dvd /dvd udf ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0 #/dev/floppy/0 /floppy vfat user,noauto,unhide 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts defaults 0 0 none /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 #tmp /tmp tmpfs defaults 0 0 #shm /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 #usb /proc/bus/usb usbfs defaults 0 0 # End of file
Did you install lilo? Your BIOS shouldn't skip the disk if a boot loader was installed and your boot order is correct. On Dec 1, 2011, at 8:24 AM, samwyse <samwyse@gmail.com> wrote:

Did you complie your kernel with JFS support? Niklas On 1 dec 2011, at 14:24, samwyse <samwyse@gmail.com> wrote:

CONFIG_JFS_FS=m Apparently I did not. :) To whom should I suggest adding a warning about this in the guide? On Thu, Dec 1, 2011 at 9:54 AM, Niklas Wennerstrand <niklas@allow.se> wrote:
