UEFI + Ubuntu netinstall crashing
Hi there,
It seems there is a problem with loading a kernel/initrd for ubuntu's netinstall while using UEFI on VMWare Workstation 10/Lenovo T440s (current build from GIT). Using a regular BIOS everything works fine with the following iPXE part: :ubuntu-trusty-amd64 initrd http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dist.../initrd.gz chain http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dist...md64/linux fb=false boot || goto failed goto start iPXE loads the initrd and the kernel and then it crashes at: VFS: Cannot open root device "(null)" or unknown-block(0,0): error -6 Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0) Someone else hit that problem as well? |

RE: UEFI + Ubuntu netinstall crashing
You need to add initrd=initrd.gz to the kernel command line. This is a requirement of the UEFI environment and using iPXE. On legacy BIOS that additional parameter does nothing, so you can have it set in both environments.
