Hello.
I need help to load Linux kernel with rootfs via LAVA (2017.2) job.
My job definition fails with kernel panic "provide correct 'root=' option": === device_type: x86 job_name: x86-pipeline
timeouts: job: minutes: 15 action: minutes: 5 actions: bootloader-action: minutes: 5 bootloader-retry: minutes: 5 bootloader-interrupt: minutes: 5 extract-nfsrootfs: seconds: 90 priority: medium visibility: public

After then I have added kernel boot options (after metadata section) which lead to "Failed to load file: rootfs.cpio.gz" from iPXE: === context: extra_kernel_args: initrd=/rootfs.cpio.gz root=/dev/ram0 ===
But at the same time I could successfully load it manual from iPXE console: === iPXE> dhcp net0 Configuring (net0 7c:05:07:0d:37:c9)...... ok
iPXE> set console console=ttyS0,115200n8 lava_mac={LAVA_MAC}
iPXE> set extraargs initrd=/rootfs.cpio root=/dev/ram0 ip=dhcp
iPXE> kernel http://192.168.0.1:8000/x86-64/bzImage ${extraargs} ${console} http://192.168.0.1:8000/x86-64/bzImage... ok
