I assume you mean an initramfs message, right? I've never seen a boot prompting me for an initramfs file. If my assumption is right, consider the following experiment... * Make a copy of your initramfs * gunzip it * un-cpio it into a dir called initramfs * edit initramfs/init * Remove everything not absolutely essential * On boot, tell grub to init to /bin/bash. NOTE: If Jessie is one of the "new breed" in which /sbin is a symlink of /usr/bin, make a copy of /bin/bash, /bin/sh, /bin/dash, etc, then remove the symlink, copy those files to the real /bin, then add back the symlink. By removing everything but the most essential, which might boil down to just a switchroot statement. By removing all this stuff, it makes it a lot more likely you'll get through the whole initramfs' init, and if not, make it a lot easier to find the problem. By the way, see this for a minimal initramfs: http://www.aclevername.com/articles/linux-xilinx-tutorial/minimalist-initramfs.html I wrote some docs on the subject here: http://www.troubleshooters.com/linux/init/manjaro_experiments.htm#initrd SteveT Steve Litt April 2015 featured book: Twenty Eight Tales of Troubleshooting http://www.troubleshooters.com/28 _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
