The last screenful of complete messages is module scsi_mod: Relocation overflow vs section 23 WARNING: Error inserting scsi_mod (/lib/modules/2.6.8-2-smp/kernel/drivers/scsi/scsi_mod.ko): Invalid module format sd_mod: Unknown symbol scsi_device_get sd_mod: Unknown symbol scsi_wait_req ... sd_mod: Unknown symbol scsi_io_completion sd_mod: Unknown symbol scsi_set_medium_removal FATAL: Error inserting sd_mod (/lib/modules/2.6.8-2-smp/kernel/drivers/scsi/sd_mod.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) pivot_root: No such file or directory /sbin/init: 432: cannot open dev/console: No such file Kernel panic: Attempted to kill init! Above that is a partial message for aic7xxx.ko. Looks like it cannot load any module from the initrd, it doesn't seem to be specific to the sym53c875 controller. kernel-image-2.6.8-2-generic 2.6.8-16sarge1 does boot successfully. We got an endless loop of "__find_get_block_slow failed" messages once, but I cannot reproduce this now. Maybe I should just rebuild the initrd for the smp kernel? hp -- _ | Peter J.
