unable to boot JFS root on Crux 2.7

12-01-2011, 12:41 PM

Did you install lilo? Your BIOS shouldn't skip the disk if a boot loader was installed and your boot order is correct.

Did you complie your kernel with JFS support?

CONFIG_JFS_FS=m
Apparently I did not. *

To whom should I suggest adding a warning about this in the guide?

OK, I selected the JFS file system to be compiled into the kernel. Â*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. Â*

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. Â*I haven't tried mounting it read-only, but it appears that the ISO isn't cleanly unmountingÂ*everythingÂ*when I shutdown. Â*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.

Do you have SCSI support?

Was lilo installed correctly?

Is Lilo installed on the mbr?
