# Config file for Syslinux -
# /boot/syslinux/syslinux.cfg

LABEL arch
    MENU LABEL Arch Linux
    LINUX ../vmlinuz-linux
    APPEND root=/dev/sda3 rw
    INITRD ../initramfs-linux-ck.img

LABEL archfallback
    MENU LABEL Arch Linux Fallback
    LINUX ../vmlinuz-linux
    APPEND root=/dev/sda3 rw
    INITRD ../initramfs-linux-fallback.img

I have just changed my arch config to load the CK image. However, upon boot, fsck fails complaining that /dev/sda3 cannot be found. This is weird, because archfallback loads correctly as usual.

Also, I should add the parameter elevator=bfq. Should I do that with a new APPEND line?

EDIT: I just saw that there is also a vmlinuz-linux-ck. I'll try and report back. The kernel parameter quesion remains.

For anyone who encounters the same problem, this is the correct way to configure it:

LABEL arch
    MENU LABEL Arch Linux
    LINUX ../vmlinuz-linux-ck
    APPEND elevator=bfq
    APPEND root=/dev/sda3 rw
    INITRD ../initramfs-linux-ck.img

As noted in the ArchWiki, to check that the BFQ/BFS scheduler are loaded you have to check the output of dmesg | grep scheduler.
