You need an initrd. It doesn't need to do anything though.

It did boot fine. It even mounted your root filesystem. You just didn't give it anything to do next.

You posted triple and then twice. You're also wrong. He needs an init binary.

You got me. An excellent way of getting (You)s, I have to say

if linux is an operating system then tell me why I cannot boot this freshly complied linux operating system from source

does busybox have init? I have to build busybox with static libraries right?

>He needs an init binary
No he doesn't

Yes and yes

>complied
Probably because you can't even spell simple English words.

You have booted it. You just can't do anything beyond that without an initrd.

that has nothing to do with it

Linux is a kernel not an operating system.

/thread

literally this

fuck this
why init wants to kill itself
I have this as /init
#!/bin/sh

mount -t proc none /proc
mount -t sysfs none /sys

cat

your root filesystem isn't mounted yet, how do you expect your init to work if you don't use a proper initramfs.

i have root=/dev/ram0 how else can I tell the kernel the rootfs is the ramdisk

so how do you expect the kernel to run your init with an empty ramdisk as root? you need a filesystem with basic commands such a sh,cat... and your init file. You can either use a standard rootfs on a disk or an initramfs. the easiest way to get both going is to use busybox or rip it off from some other distro.

I forgot to mention I alread built the ramdisk with busybox

then you must have fucked up at some point user

>You need an initrd
Linux confirmed for kernel.

what should I set the root cmd line if the kernel is bootes with efi stub and the ramdisk is built into the kernel

Linus is only the OS-Proper. You still need userland applications for a complete system.
