<br>&gt; Hello everyone!
<br>&gt; I&#39;m Ankita Pareek from India. I&#39;m applying for Outreachy this year and I would love to contribute to Linux Kernel.
<br>&gt; I&#39;m a newbie and thus started off with compiling my own kernel following this tutorial --&gt; <a href="https://kernelnewbies.org/OutreachyfirstpatchSetup?action=show&amp;redirect=OPWfirstpatchSetup" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?hl=en&amp;q=https://kernelnewbies.org/OutreachyfirstpatchSetup?action%3Dshow%26redirect%3DOPWfirstpatchSetup&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1617718925871000&amp;usg=AFQjCNFxHBWiCOzJ4kLllfea8Y56ZzHjwA">https://kernelnewbies.org/OutreachyfirstpatchSetup?action=show&amp;redirect=OPWfirstpatchSetup</a>
<br>&gt; I&#39;m able to successfully build and install the kernel on my native Ubuntu 20.04 and it also gets updated in the grub boot menu. But when I try to boot into that newly compiled kernel it gets stuck at &quot;Loading initial ramdisk ...&quot; and I&#39;m not able to boot into it. Here are some things that I tried to fix this problems -
<br>&gt;
<br>&gt; I waited for almost 2-3 hours after that to boot into the new kernel but it still showed the same message.
<br>&gt; Then I tried changing the &#39;GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX&#39; parameter to &#39;debug&#39; for checking the log messages but couldn&#39;t find any logs.
<br>&gt;  Some answers on Google about this said that it was possibly because Secure boot was enabled so I tried compiling and booting by disabling Secure boot but still same problem exists.
<br>&gt; Then I tried compiling the kernel on a VM and it was successful and I could boot into it. But the VM makes the system very slow and thus I wish to compile and run the kernel on my native Linux machine.
<br>&gt;
<br>&gt; What could be the possible reason and fix for this problem? Can someone please help me with this? I&#39;ve been stuck on this for almost a week now so any help would be really great!

<br>Hi Ankita,
<br>
<br>It&#39;s strange that you have been able to boot itto same kernel[I assume] in VM
<br>but not on your machine. Probably something went wrong while installing
<br>the modules on your machine. Which rc version did you try to install?
<br>
<br>I&#39;m free for few hours right now. If you can come on IRC, we can try to
<br>debug the problem. I&#39;m &#39;vaishali&#39; on both freenode and OFTC. Just ping
<br>me there.
<br>
<br>&gt; Thanks
