PXE boot read only filesystem with squashfs init #784

Closed matreicht closed 10 months ago

matreicht commented 10 months ago

Hi! I am having issues trying to PXE boot on old hardware, if I use gzip as the initrdcmd parameter I get kernel panic but if I try squashfs the system boots but drops to shell because the file system is read only. Is there any solution inbetween to keep the compression but get an rw file system?

When using squashfs, include the overlay package, and that will simulate rw.
