I've compiled Linux 2.6.30.3 using the Debian way on guest Debian GNU/Linux Lenny and trying to boot the guest with this kernel, the bootstrapping is freeze on "Loading, please wait..." message. In logs I don't get entries of the bootstrapping process with 2.6.30 (I think it is because the process in itself didn't start). Can it be due to a bug using 2.6.30.3 in guest with host KVM-88? Also I was trying with kernel 2.6.31.2 compiled by myself and after to wait for some time, I obtain the following thing: Booting 'Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.31.2-dgb' root (hd0,1) Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83 kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31.2-dgb root=3D/dev/hda2 ro quiet console=3Dtty0= console =3DttyS0,38400n8 [Linux-bzImage, setup=3D0x3600, size=3D0x203480] initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.31.2-dgb [Linux-initrd @ 0x1f983000, 0x65c455 bytes] Loading, please wait... WARNING bootdevice may be renamed. Try root=3D/dev/sda2 Gave up waiting for root device. Common problems: - Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline) - Check rootdelay=3D (did the system wait long enough?) - Check root=3D (did the system wait for the right device?) - Missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev) ALERT! /dev/hda2 does not exist. Dropping to a shell! BusyBox v1.10.2 (Debian 1:1.10.2-2) built-in shell (ash) Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands. /bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off (initramfs) Nevertheless with Linux 2.6.26-2-amd64 stock kernel I did not have problems. It would seem to be that at least with 2.6.31.2 the devices cannot be loaded. Thanks advance for your reply.
