iPXE Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs

[pek]

Hi, I tried to boot from iPXE as follows:

kernel /boot/vmlinuz64
initrd /boot/corepure64.gz quiet text
boot

It loads up, but stopped at
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)

Can someone please tell me what I should do? Thanks.

Here's  screenshot

The initrd load failed for some reason.

Hi pek
Remove the  quiet  boot code to see if any useful error messages show up. If it scrolls by too fast, add this boot code:

Code: [Select]

boot_delay=100That will wait for 100 milliseconds between each message. Adjust the number to suit your needs.

Hi Rich,
I got this. (I also removed the Hard Drive from the laptop)


Any clue? Thanks

First try this:

Code: [Select]

kernel /boot/vmlinuz64
initrd /boot/corepure64.gz
then

Code: [Select]

kernel /boot/vmlinuz64 quiet
initrd /boot/corepure64.gz
If this doesn't work it means iPXE cannot find corepure64.gz or it is corrupt or name is wrong.

Hi neonix,
Sorry I just got a chance to test it now.

I don't know why needs to be written like this

Code: [Select]

kernel /boot/vmlinuz64 quiet
initrd /boot/corepure64.gzBut as long as it works, I'm Happy.

THANK YOU..
