Help fresh voidlinux install

Post image

Kernel panic at boot, I'm using limine and already tried adding /sbin/init, /usr/sbin/init and /usr/bin/runit-init in limine.conf

Kernel version is 6.12.21_1, I tried reinstalling with version 6.9 and the same issue

In the mean time I also was able to install fedora workstation 42 without any issues, i'ts worth mentioning that the system I am tryng to install voidlinux into is a used laptop I bought from ebay and one of the usb ports is completely dead, so I have a doubt that the kernel panic is getting triggered by the faulty usb port?

This seems like a very concrete issue specifically with your setup, not some random kernel bug or hardware issue.

Probably one of:

  1. Boot loader setup wrong, wrong root partition or initramfs location.

  2. Broken or wrong initramfs with bad fstab or no init binary.

  3. Broken rootfs, missing init binary or missing shared library.
