[elbe-users] Elbe initvm repository validation error (fwd)

[Manuel Traut]

Hi Farrukh,

> Thanks for the quick reply. I have checked this file and created a cpio, but it seems that it is not bootable to the shell because of the following:
> 
> It does not pack /dev/console  /dev/null and /dev zero. In addition, it does not include init

the needed device nodes should be created in the finetuning, the busybox init
is used.

> May I ask, do you have any working initramfs example in elbe, which can be used to  boot into the console?

As far as i know, this is a working example. I added elbe-users to cc; maybe
someone there can help you.

> OR if you know any literature, which could point me to the working initramfs, then it will be of a great help.

Please check the content of the cpio, if the files are really missing, please
post an issue at github.

Thanks,

  Manuel

However, when I submit the xml file for preparing the image then I receive the error in below. I was searching a solution online, however I have no success so far. I will be very happy if you could pin point about some configurations, which helps to rectify this error :
