cant boot with kernel 2.6.8
I've been trying to get the 2.6.8 kernel installed. But it keeps failing to
boot.
nforce2 ide controller at pci slot 0000:00:09.0
nforce2 chipset revision 162
nforce2 not 100% native mode, will probe irqs later
nforce2 bios didnt set cable bits correctly, enabling workaround
<few more lines of text with nothing that looked like an error>
/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0: unknown partition table
NTFS driver 2.1.15 flags R/O MODULE
pivot_root: no such file or directory
/sbin/init: 426: cannot open dev/console: no such file
kernel panic: attempted to kill init!
I've been using google to try and find a solution but so far no luck. My
lilo.conf file looks like this:
image=/vmlinuz
label=Linux
read-only
initrd=/initrd.img
I can boot with the older 2.14.18 kernel with no problem. I tried
downloading and installing the nforce drivers from nvidia (even though they
just seem to be audio and network drivers, no ide drivers) but i couldnt
get that to install either. Tells me gcc version check failed, or if i try
to compile it manually tells me make command not found (gcc is installed).
Any suggestions?
Ian
