Hi together,
I’ve tested the installer on different of my virtual environments: Virtualbox 6.1 with Remotebox on Ubuntu server 20.04. And on last version of Proxmox PVE server.
All installation until ipfire 2.25 are working. Installations since 2.27 generating a “Kernel Panic - not syncing: No working init found.” at the beginning. After installation with 2.25 and updating ipfire to latest 2.27 - 163 version, the VM’s are running smooth. Only the installer 2.27 - 159 and greater results in a Kernel panic.
I’ve testet several settings in the VM’s like CPU#, RAM-Size, BIOS/EFI, IDE/SATA, etc. Nothing helps.
Seems like the new Kernel within the installation process since 2.27 - 159 doesn’t like VM’s. Hmmm…?
Hallo @kamillentee
Welcome tpo the IPFire community.
I am using Virtualbox 6.1.32 on Arch Linux to create a vm network testbed that I use to evaluate new Core Updates of IPFire and for evaluation of bug fixes.
I have done updates both using Pakfire and full new installs with Core Update 160, 161 and 163 recently and had no problems with any kernel panics.
I suspect that your kernel panics might be affected by your vm setup.
What setup do you have with your Virtualbox IPFire vm?

I had exactly the same problem even though I was using an EFI desktop instead of a VM. Like the original poster, core 158 worked while the latest one gave me the kernel panic when I tried installing it.
Hi @garnet
Welcome to the IPFire community.
I haven’t seen any kernel panics in any of the Core Updates in my physical IPFire system or my vm systems. That includes Core Update 175 Testing.
To hopefully get some clue what is triggering the kernel panic that you are experiencing can you post a copy of the kernel panic error messages.
If you can’t easily do a screenshot due to the kernel panic then a photograph would also be adequate.
Some of the kernel experts may then be able to identify what settings etc might be causing the panic to occur.
unbelievable 
lucky me can help you out:

All the other kernel panics that have been previously mentioned were related to driver issues for networks or usb or etc.
The kernel panic you have is occurring because the kernel finds the init file but is unable to execute it.
The usual reason something can’t be executed is because it has either become corrupted or it has the wrong permissions.
Some basic facts would help.
Did this occur during a Core Update. If yes, what CU were you coming from and to which one?
If it didn’t occur during a Core Update what was done just before you carried out the reboot?
A quick check on the permissions and ownership of the init file that you have. It should be like the following:-
ls -hal /sbin/init
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 52K Dec 27 16:50 /sbin/init
The above is from my CU174 system.
If those permissions and ownership are the same as yours then the only other thing I can think of is that the file is corrupted but I can’t think how to determine that as it is a binary file so you can’t easily look at it.
One of the other forum members more experienced in kernel matters would need to give their input.
One thing I have just found with searching is some people that had this problem because their boot partition was too small. If you have a system that has been in existence for a long time and never been re-installed then you may have a much smaller boot partition than is now installed and there might just be insufficient space.
You can check that with running the df command - following is from my system.
df -hl

What does your boot look like and do you have a /var partition?
@bonnietwin
it is a apu6 board, new one, no upgrade just installation.
ipfire full iso booted via ventoy from usb stick
in sssseeeerrrriiiiaaaallll mmmmooooddddeeee 
EDiTH: maybe the ventoy 
I had no idea what a ventoy was. I had to search for it.
I have an apu4 board system (Lightning Wire Labs mini system).
I did a dd of the iso to my usb stick (as per the wiki page) and then installed from that and have not had any problems. I have re-installed a couple of times on the system.
The apps that people have mentioned in the past (and are in the wiki page) are dd, Rufus and Balena Etcher.
I have experience of dd only.
According to the Ventoy web site IPFire works with it but I am not sure who has tested it and when as they have a list of 275 distros, the majority of which they have marked as “Ventoy test OK”.
There has been another post where someone has reported that when they used the ventoy app it always ended up with a kernel panic. They changed to Rufus and it worked.
https://community.ipfire.org/t/kernel-panic-on-attempted-install/9589/16?u=bonnietwin
It is reported that Ventoy works on the basis that the distro it is being used on either uses dm-mod or dm-crypt modules. Neither of these are enabled in IPFire. It needs these modules apparently because it injects some code into the boot process.
I don’t understand the details but the sound of “injecting some code into the boot process” does not make me want to use it on a firewall distro.
It was apparently tested with Core Update 144 on a QEMU KVM.
At that time the dm-mod and dm-crypt kernel modules did not even exist in IPFire so clearly at that time the ventoy app used a different methodology than it does now.

@bonnietwin
ur welcome 
ventoy is kind of ‘new tech’ 
i am very glad this was developed as i was more than tired of dd/rufus
every single iso to a single device
there are better things to spend time on 
however: ipfire iso on ventoy wont work with apu6 sseeerrrriiiiiaaaaaallllll
i rufus’ed the iso to a stick 
et voila 
win/win/lose one could say:
@bonnietwin can now produce a kernel panic 
@current_user now knows ipfire wont install via ventoy w/sseeerrrrriiiiiiaaaaaaallllllll
@kamillentee 's op is still open 
I have installed IPFire several times using Ventoy without any problems, however, not on the APU.
Here are some hints found on forums related to ventoy and kernel panic:
Check the checksum of the iso file after copying to the ventoy flash drive.
Things to check:
- Flash latest version of Ventoy .
- Make sure in the “Options”, Secure boot is unchecked.

@tphz
maybe it is not only on apu boards 
connect via serial console
and give it a try 
then report back 
if there is a vga console: it works with or without ventoy

maybe this will help:
It is ventoy. On my up to date ventoy stick IPFire fails with various panic’s also with vga.
Old ventoy versions has worked some time ago.

I tried to cut & paste a script (since I couldn’t figure out how to upload a text file) and it came out horrible.
I think that there is also a problem with efi. Like the original poster, I was able to install core-158 (with a ventoy USB) on an EFI stand alone server; but, got a kernel panic when I tried to install core-174.
However, I was able to reproduce a similar problem with libvirt-8.0.0-10.2 running on an RHEL 8.7 server. It will install fine with the boot option set to BIOS using the core-174 ISO. And, it will install a RHEL 7 iso with the boot option set to uefi. But, I get the following error when I try the same thing with the core-174 iso. (No ventoy involved.)
I used the following script to make it easy to configure the various options.

I had to quote the “#” otherwise, it dropped the “#” and cam out bold.
Qemu report that it is not allowed to read. It may a bug in qemu or some rights are not correct. On my system the iso copied to an usb thumbdrive boots with uefi and legacy.
