I'm currently testing a patch to generate an initrd image for MAAS with partial success.
The fix for the network is working well. However, when attempting to start a server via PXE using MAAS, strange errors are raised:
Warning: Type of the root file system is unknown, so skipping the check.
mount: bad address 'squash'
This leads to an initramfs prompt.
Here are the steps I follow to generate an initramfs:
1. Apply the patch to the script based on /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts.
2. Run the mkinitramfs command.
3. Copy the new initrd file to MAAS.
4. Start the server to boot by network.
I couldn't find clear documentation regarding generation and troubleshooting. Additionally, I'm unsure if this is the right place to ask questions about this issue.
