Greetings- I'm having a problem booting after an 8.1 install via nfs/pxeboot. Get the following message on boot: kernel (hd0,0)/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda2 ide=nodma init=linuxrc initrd (hd0,0)/initrd Error 15: File not found Press any key to continue... my xml script contains the following bootloader options under <install> <bootloader> <activate config:type="boolean">false</activate> <kernel_parameters>ide=nodma</kernel_parameters> <lba_support config:type="boolean">false</lba_support> <linear config:type="boolean">false</linear> <location>mbr</location> </bootloader> Is anyone else seeing this problem or have I screwed something up? I've tried with <activate config> as true....didn't help. removing the initrd (hd0,0)/initrd line has allowed me to boot the box after this error message. Any ideas would be appreciated. TIA, -Jeff

I'm having a problem booting after an 8.1 install via nfs/pxeboot. Get the following message on boot:
kernel (hd0,0)/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda2 ide=nodma init=linuxrc initrd (hd0,0)/initrd
Why there is init=linuxrc in the command line? Did you add it?
Error 15: File not found
It looks like the installation is missing an initial ramdisk! Can you please verify!
Press any key to continue...
my xml script contains the following bootloader options under <install> <bootloader> <activate config:type="boolean">false</activate> <kernel_parameters>ide=nodma</kernel_parameters> <lba_support config:type="boolean">false</lba_support> <linear config:type="boolean">false</linear> <location>mbr</location> </bootloader>
Is anyone else seeing this problem or have I screwed something up? I've tried with <activate config> as true....didn't help. removing the initrd (hd0,0)/initrd line has allowed me to boot the box after this error message. Any ideas would be appreciated.
Everything looks fine! Can you please try without bootloader resource in the control file? Anas
TIA,

Why there is init=linuxrc in the command line? Did you add it? I added it. I don't know why I thought it had to be there. I removed it and tried install again. Same error message (minus init=linuxrc of course).

It looks like the installation is missing an initial ramdisk! Can you please verify! This is correct. There is no initrd in /boot to be found. This appears to be the reason the bootloader is failing. Is there a tag that I have to put in control file to generate an initrd?
