Re: Compiling vanilla kernel issues.

[Kieron Gillespie <ciaran.gillespie@gmail.com>]

So current when I build the vanilla kernel using the typical Debian method with make deb-pkg I end up with a kernel that panic's on boot.

It says,

--CUT--

Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)

CPU: 0 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/1 Not tainted 3.12.0-rc #1

Call Trace:

--END CUT--

Any ideas? If someone has instructions on how they typically build there kernel for SPARC system I would like to know. Though this is how I always have done it in the past it just recently stop working after 3.8.x series.

I didn't have any problems, but I'm not using initramfs. To build a kernel 'the debian way', you might need to find a guide or maybe someone else can chime in?

Hello everyone,

Was wondering if anyone had any success compiling any of the vanilla Linux kernel's on their SPARC wheezy systems with anything after version 3.8.x.

Every time I try to build myself a new kernel I seem to end up with a kernel that is unable to boot complaining about not being able to find the root file system. I was wondering if anyone has any information on how I can configure and build the Linux kernel for my various SPARC systems.
