If not, there's not much else that can be done other than to try other kernel versions or configurations. If anything does show up, please report those messages back. See if anything else shows up after the "Loading initrmfs.gz." message After editing, stay right on the editing screen and press the key to bootĤ. (modified example line): linux /vmlinuz verbose debug uefimode=yes iflkmap=us ktl=qwerty iflbflag=0 ProductKey=XXXX-YYYY-ZZZZģ. (original example line): linux /vmlinuz uefimode=yes iflkmap=us ktl=qwerty iflbflag=0 ProductKey=XXXX-YYYY-ZZZZ Edit the "linux" line (will be similar to the one below) to insert the "verbose" and "debug" parameters after the "/vmlinuz" as shown below: Pressing 'e' to display the edit screen for the grub boot commandsĢ. That can be done at the Grub boot screen by:ġ. It may be worth trying the "verbose" and "debug" command line parameters at boot time to see if any additional messages show up on the screen before it hangs. The boot loader hasn't changed since IFL 2.87, so if 2.87 does boot on that system, that just leaves the kernel (which has changed).
It doesn't seem like there's much it can be other than some problem between the kernel/config and that system. > When booting from 2.91 the screen shows "Loading initrmfs.gz." UEFI systems will just show "Loading initrmfs.gz." (always 3 dots) in either case.Īlso, if you can give a link to your system's specs, that might help if this turns out to be a kernel issue (the kernel has been changed since version 2.87). You will only be able to see the difference on a BIOS based sytem.
This would tell whether it's a problem loading initrmfs.gz (boot loader related), or a problem with the kernel not running after initrmfs.gz is loaded.
When booting as a BIOS (legacy) system, does it hang after you get the lines of dots after the initrmfs.gz, as in: Makes no difference - both a boot CD and a boot memory stick hangs the
