Bug#271038: kernel-image-2.6.8-1-k7: kernel panic at boot time

["Harald Dunkel" <harald.dunkel@t-online.de>]

Hi Aurelien,

I've got a similar problem. Same error message at boot
time, but the reason might be different. Currently I am
trying to gather more information. Maybe I can help.

First I would suggest to not touch the 2.6.8.1 kernel
files, until this problem is solved. Maybe you should
make a backup of it.

Next, could you please add the name of your sata driver
(sata_promise) to

	/etc/mkinitrd/modules

and rebuild the initrd for 2.6.8-1-k7? Something like

mkinitrd -o /boot/initrd.img-2.6.8-1-k7 2.6.8-1-k7

should do. Then run lilo if necessary, and boot the
2.6.8-1-k7 kernel. Is there still a problem with
pivot_root?


Regards

Harri
