Sabayon don't boot

[pepro]

Hi, I have with sabayon the same problem that I had with gentoo (genkernel) and funtoo (deban kernel ).

The system do not boot because don't find root.

Hi.And welcome in

There are few similar issues (new installation) around the sabayon forums . I think this is related EFI but I'm not sure about this. I can't reproduce it.
I reported this to the IRC-dev channel.

Hi thank you for the answer, just to be clear, when I had this issue with gentoo and funtoo I was in legacy mode, this time not. I installed sabayon in uefi mode with secure boot disabled.

How is your partition schema installed/configured ?

Code: Select all

# blkid && lsblk

My partiton schema :

Code: Select all

lsblk && blkid

now I have installed lubuntu wainting to find some kernel documentation.

I have installed many distro with the same classic partition scheme,

Code: Select all

NAME         MAJ:MIN RM  SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
mmcblk0      179:0    0 29,1G  0 disk 
├─mmcblk0p1  179:1    0  512M  0 part /boot/efi
└─mmcblk0p2  179:2    0 28,6G  0 part /
mmcblk0boot0 179:8    0    4M  1 disk 
mmcblk0boot1 179:16   0    4M  1 disk

it was igual but with other two partition

/dev/mmcblk0p1 /boot/efi
/dev/mmcblk0p2 /boot
/dev/mmcblk0p3 /swap
/dev/mmcblk0p4 /


now, like other in gentoo and linuxquestion forum, dont look just fstab, because it is correct. I need if possible to understand what option have some kernel (arch, debian, ubuntu, manjaro) to boot in this kind of notebook with sd/mmc hdd. Actualy there arent many gentoo forks, so I installed gentoo and I see (first time) that it do not boot, funtoo was the same (but why? it use debian kernel), after looking for some distro I tried redcorelinux that have boot, I have read some error message from kernel but it have some module that finaly find root partition and boot, with sabayon I was very surprised when I see that dont, because like redcore I was expecting some big fulloptional kernel.

oooh you've installed the system on MMC/SD card reader
many BIOS can't boot from MMC/SD card reader 'cause its drivers will be load after SO loading

or check your BIOS-->Boot option

PS : Is a raspberry board ?
PPS : I think you need to load the MMC/SD card reader driver at boot . Module/Drivers should be on initramfs ; so check boot priority to the BIOS

[pepro]

Nono I do not explain myself!
My notebook Acer Cloudbook 11, have just this hard drive.
(I think that the other two partition that u see in my lsbk output:

mmcblk0boot0 179:8 0 4M 1 disk
mmcblk0boot1 179:16 0 4M 1 disk

are needed from bios to start. And they work just fine, I mean Windows boot, all linux dist boot. Gentoo don't. Redcorelinux boot.

What I am saying is that I don't choice where to install,I don't use external sd/mmc card, I just use the only hard drive that my notebook has. I mean is the only one, like you see in the code.

[pepro]

Ok I just read your PPS.
I will do something and let you know.

In the meantime if someone know what module option or something are needed in the kernel initfram and everything else i have to put in genkernell, let me know. Thank u.

I think its the new update which Sabayon team pushed. I am seeing this pattern with Sabayon team, they hardly care about users. I had five machines with Sabayon and I changed it all to Ubuntu. But just this one machine is stuck with Sabayon as its for a non profit organization. I need to find time to change it to Ubuntu.

But till then, is there any way to get the machine up? Even mine stops at the login prompt. And it doesnt take my regular username and password.

[Stupot]

gocool, yours sounds like a different issue.

Your issue almost sounds more like the KDE lockscreen issue than a booting issue. But I assume you would have said it was the lockscreen if that was indeed where your problem lies.
