Boot problem
I have two Linuxes on my system -- one per hard disk. I run Libranet 2.0 from /dev/hda3, Tater Deb on hdb3 (I was curious about "pure" version), and, ahem, Winblows on hda1. I use Grub to manage the booting (came w/Libranet).
Here's the rub--
one of times after which I recompiled a 2.4.16 kernel for the Official Deb (I got the source pkg. from the Libranet CD's), and carefully modified the /boot/grub/menu.lst on Libranet, I got a kernel panic on the subsequent boot.
Here are the exact 5 last lines (they all seemed relevant):
request_module[ide-disk]: Root fs not mounted
hdb: driver not present
VFS: Cannot open root device "hdb3" or 03:43
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 03:43 (is this a sector or block designation or something?)
These two next pieces of info. may be relevant as well:
* I remember the last lines from the std. output of the last make bzImage before the panic in question said something about the image being created at I think 3,67 -- or some 3,XX that WASN'T the 43 referenced above.
* when I booted into the official Deb. (again, on /dev/hdb3) with a
"rescue root=/dev/hdb3" and ran fdisk to check the partitioning, fdisk says
that /dev/hdb3 overlaps /dev/hdb1 (don't ask where /dev/hdb2 went, I haven't
the foggiest).
Are there some arguments I can put in the /boot/grub/menu.lst statement about where to find where the real kernel image actually lives?
TIA,
Mark
