init (error -26) with Core 15.0

<< < (2/6) > >>

Hi linic
I did a little experimenting.

I added a Core15 entry on one of my machines with your boot codes.
The machine booted up fine.

Then I decided to make the machine look a little more like yours and
added the boot code:

--- Code: ---mem=64M
--- End code ---
This time I got the same /init (error -26) errors as you did.

Rich:
Hi linic
I tried a few more things.

When I increased the memory by 8Meg:

--- Code: ---mem=72M
--- End code ---
it no longer got  /init errors. It did eventually stop with
an out of memory error.

I then added the boot code:

--- Code: ---udev.children-max=1
--- End code ---
Found here:
https://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,24886.msg158364.html#msg158364
That got me to a command prompt.

But lowering the other boot code back to:

--- Code: ---mem=64M
--- End code ---
caused the /init errors to return.

So it looks like you're right on the edge memory wise.

linic:
Hi Rich,

Thanks for checking that! You're awesome! Thanks for the boot codes. I didn't know about them. Looks like I was lucky using 14.0 initially which requires a little less RAM.

Have an awesome 25th of December!

Rich:
Hi linic
Sorry I couldn't give you any better news.

For future reference, here's where a list of kernel boot codes can be found:

And to the boot codes for tc you have them here:
