Troubleshooting
35+
===============
3636
You can run ubuntukernel-load.sh manually as root. It is quite verbose. Be
3737
aware that your system will reboot (kexec) if all went fine.
3838

39+
If your initrd or kernel is bad you can get stuck with a non booting system.
40+
Add a server tag in the Scaleway webui with the name `ubuntukernel_disabled`
41+
and kexec won't be executed on bootup anymore.
42+
43+
Other usefull Scaleway related tags are `INITRD_POST_SHELL=1` which will drop
44+
you in a shell after the whole initrd shebang is done so you can tinker with
45+
your filesystem. Also consider `INITRD_VERBOSE=1` to make initrd more verbose.
46+
`INITRD_DEBUG=1` is maximum verbose and will trace all commands that get
47+
executed in initrd.
