[SOLVED] Alpine Linux 3.6.1 won't start in a VM

[John Radley]

Just tried the latest ISOs of Alpine Linux in a VM, but they won't start.
I've tried various options. Alpine Linux uses ExtLinux to start not Grub. And has different kernels to the normal Linux.

The CT template works OK, even thought its 3.4 and it's easily upgraded.
The Alpine page on the Proxmox website for 3.5 is a tar.gz for OpenVZ and now not applicable.

Anyone advise a solution.
Thx

Don't worry. Solved now.. My fat fingers typed a silly amount of memory!
