Boot Managers / Re: plopKexec ignoring grub2 entries

« Last post by aclef on August 14, 2019, 11:48:28 AM »

Hi,

I was trying to use btrfs for my system.
PlopKexec couldn't boot btrfs currently, so I put /boot on a separate partition, and put put plopkexec.cfg in the partition for /boot:

Content of plopkexec.cfg:
TIMEOUT 10
DEFAULT Manjaro

LABEL Manjaro
   LINUX ./vmlinuz-4.19-x86_64
   APPEND boot=/dev/mmcblk0p1 rw
   APPEND root=UUID=0d638d03-470b-4ead-9ca2-706df4c939fe rw
   INITRD ./initramfs-4.19-x86_64.img

Content of /@/etc/fstab:
# <file system>             <mount point>  <type>  <options>  <dump>  <pass>
UUID=CBAC-26FD                            /boot          vfat    defaults,noatime 0 2
UUID=0d638d03-470b-4ead-9ca2-706df4c939fe /              btrfs   subvol=@,defaults,noatime,space_cache,autodefrag,compress=zlib 0 1
UUID=0d638d03-470b-4ead-9ca2-706df4c939fe /home          btrfs   subvol=@home,defaults,noatime,space_cache,autodefrag,compress=zlib 0 2

In the btrfs partition, /@/ is the real root but not /.
I tried to boot the system, the root device is successfully mounted, but it says count not found /sbin/init and bailed.

How should I configure it to boot properly or is it possible at all?

Hi,

I have similar problem, in my case my CDROM Drive is a USB type so it does detect it as a CDROM even as a USB thumb drive/stick

Please help!

Many thanks!

God blesses!!!

Best regards,

It worked!
I'm currently running Manjaro on F2FS with a sd card.
 Thank you so much!

I used /dev/mmcblk0p1 in append command, that works for ext4.
Do I need to change it into UUID?

No, you can keep "/dev/mmcblk0p1".
UUID is an alternative to the device node.
Both methods are fine. Use what you prefer

Hello,

I updated and tested PlopKexec with F2FS support. Please try it.
https://download.plop.at/tmp/plopkexec-1.6-rc2-build64.tgz


Here is a plopkexec.cfg. Maybe someone needs it as sample. You have to use the file names and UUID from your system. See the file "/proc/cmdline" on your system for that and also the content of the "/boot" directory.

Code: [Select]

label manjaro
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-4.19-x86_64
initrd /boot/initramfs-4.19-x86_64.img
append root=UUID=cf95e2f9-4e81-406a-83a9-633263a51941 rw quiet

Best regards
Elmar

It will be added to the official version when you tried it.

https://download.plop.at/tmp/plopkexec-1.6-rc1-build64.tgz

I added some other file systems too.

I tested on a sd card with fresh Manjaro installation, on F2FS.
It says in the log, same as v1.5:
Can not mount /dev/mmcblk0
...
Can not mount /dev/mmcblk0p1
