[Barrelfish-users] Error while booting Barrelfish: can't find boot dir

[Achermann Reto]

Dear Mohan,

The problem seems to be a mismatch between the menu.lst and the Barrelfish version you are running.

Assuming you are on the current release (otherwise consider updating)

You will need to add:

modulenounzip /eclipseclp_ramfs.cpio.gz nospawn

To your menu.lst, which contains the required eclipse files.
Please refer to:

Hello,



I am getting an error ("Aborting: can't find boot file!") when I try to

boot Barrelfish on my baremetal server. Attached is the image with

the error.



I checked the Barrelfish mailing list for such previous errors, and found

that the path to skb_ramfs.cpio.gz was the problem. However, the path

to that file is correct in my setup.



Below is my menu.lst file:
