Stuck at waiting for all modules to load

[amanuel2]

Building the linux kernel for 6.10.2 and trying to load it up via qemu gets me stuck at loading all the modules specifically this line: https://github.com/anatol/booster/blob/276a3efc4336e866e3944359ecd86658d6354eb9/init/main.go#L871

Not 100% if I'm correct though, so take this with a grain of salt.

Qemu Image:

Commands:

1) booster build --kernel-version 6.10.2 mybooster.img --force 
2) sudo qemu-system-x86_64 -m 1024M -hda hda.img -enable-kvm -initrd mybooster.img -kernel arch/x86_64/boot/bzImage -append "root=/dev/sda init=/init" -cpu host -smp cores=2 -nic user,hostfwd=tcp::2222-:22

When the boot is stuck most likely it means some of the modules needed to detect the root partition are missed.

There are a couple of things to debug this issue.

• add a smaller boot timeout to stop the boot process sooner
• enable shell by adding busybox to your shell (see manpage for more info)
• add append_all_modaliases so booster will print information about missing modules

rebuild the image, and try to boot again. If the problem still persist - please share all logs ideally as a text.
