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

[Kumar, Mohan Kumar]

Hi Reto,


I am using a baremetal setup, not a VM.

Is there something in the menu.lst that

I should not use?


Thanks,

Mohan

Hi Mohan,

Unfortunately, I cannot reproduce your error on my machine. It seems, however, that Fish was started before angler was started which may be causing the error regarding the session cap.

It seems you are using a virtual machine. What type of VM and version are you using?

Can you please copy-paste the entire Barrelfish boot process and not just the last 20 lines or so?
(i.e. from make qemu_x86_64 to where it aborts)

Hi Reto,



Thanks for your help! I modified the menu.lst file. However, I get another error from fish now. Attached is the image with the error.



Below is my menu.lst file:

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:
https://github.com/BarrelfishOS/barrelfish/blob/master/hake/menu.lst.x86_64

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:
