Title: 2 alpha 3 & 4 won`t boot.
Post by: alanl on April 25, 2009, 11:51:11 PM

With both these releases I get this message:
----IO APIC resources could be not be allocated---
This is a Gigabyte mb(GA-5) with SIS.
The 1.3 version works great!

Maybe try some apic related boot kernel options, such as "noapic"

I used ....tinycore noapic & noIO APIC....but got the same result.  I downloaded rc1 and it
works fine on my main computer but I get the same error message on the gigabyte.
Right now i`m using the gigabyte to post this with the 1.3 version.  It works great so
something must have changed on the 2 version.

1.) Make sure that APIC is enabled in the BIOS, if you can find it there.
2.) Just add 'lapic' to the end of your Grub boot line, not 'lapic=yes' (might not make a difference). If your PC can do APIC, this will force it on.

I have the same problem with 2.0

CPU: vendor_id 'SiS SiS SiS' unknown, using generic init.
CPU: Your system may be unstable.
IO APIC resources could be not be allocated.
kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!

1.4.3 works.
My computer is an eBox-2300 with a Vortex86 (SoC: System-on-Chip)

noapic boot option does not solve the problem.

I also have an eBox-2300. And I had same problem.

In tinycore 2.9.
This message is still displayed.

But, boot seems to succeed ;)

Those are informational messages from the kernel, and are not a problem.
There never was a problem booting.
The problem was with the libraries used by the init scripts.
The libraries were fixed in 2.9.
