Subject: [uml-devel] Remove default root?
Date: Mon, 29 Sep 2014 19:36:07 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1412012167.9609.7.camel@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
Hi,
I tried to install the latest Fedora 21 from the Network Install Image
DVD (
https://fedoraproject.org/get-prerelease#server
http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/test/21-Alpha/Server/x86_64/iso/Fedora-Server-netinst-x86_64-21_Alpha.iso )
I did these step to install the distribution:
1.) Extract the initrd and boot options from the DVD via a loop device
mount
2.) Boot UML with:
linux mem=800M umid=fedora21 eth0=tuntap,,,192.168.1.150
ubd0=images/Fedora21-Root.img
ubd1=images/Fedora-Server-netinst-x86_64-21_Alpha.iso plymouth.enable=0
initrd=images/initrd.img inst.stage2=hd:LABEL=Fedora-S-21_A-x86_64
ip=192.168.1.151::192.168.1.150:255.255.255.0:servername:eth0:off
nameserver=8.8.8.8
3.) I only added the option "plymouth.enable=0" because the plymouth
get's confused by the missing KMS(?!)
The problem is, that this only works when I remove the default root
option from UML, as the dracut, get's confused by the root= option.
So as many modern distributions boot via an initramfs image and
autodetect the root partition automatically, I want to know what do you
think about the removal of the default root option from UML?
with kind regards
thomas
