I don't remember, but it sounds familiar. Do you have the correct drivers for the cdrom drive in your initrd.lrp (/boot/lib/modules/*.o and listed in /boot/etc/modules)? In particular, if you don't have an ide cdrom drive then you will have to diverge from the modules described in section 8.4 in http://leaf-project.org/devel/jnilo/bucdrom.html. (Actually, if that is the case, you might just consider going out and buying an IDE cdrom drive.) Another problem that occurs frequently is encountering the 255 character limit on /proc/cmdline. See http://leaf-project.org/devel/jnilo/bubooting.html#AEN1155. > What I'm wondering is where the /proc/cmdline file pulls it's data > from? Last line of isolinux.cfg. This occurs regardless of whether you have the right drivers, because this data is passed into the kernel by the boot loader. Drivers become important when the packages other than initrd.lrp must be loaded. > I'm tempted to just hardcode my parameters in, but I'd rather do it > cleanly.
