2.6.7 kernel panic
i compiled the 2.6.7 kernel from source using make-kpkg. when i
boot i get this:
UDF-fs: No partition found (1)
Kernel panic: VFS: unable to mount root fs on unknown block(3,4)
/dev/hda4 is the root partition and has /boot on it as well. it's
an ext3 partition. i have no UDF partitions to my knowledge.
kernel options that may have relevance that i set for 2.6.7 are:
CONFIG_EXT3_FS=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDISK=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM_SIZE=16384
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEPCI=y
CONFIG_DEVFS_FS=y
worse, my old 2.4.18 kernel no longer works. i'm assuming this
means that what i'm doing wrong is something trivial & stupid.
my current lilo.conf is:
boot=/dev/hda
compact
lba32
timeout=200
prompt
# To use the new LILO boot menu, add the following
bitmap=/boot/debianlilo.bmp
bmp-table=109p,148p,1,7
bmp-colors=0,15,8,15,1,7
bmp-timer=514p,144p,0,15
# don't think this is needed:
#install=/boot/boot-bmp.b
map=/boot/map
vga=normal
delay=20
default=Linux
image=/vmlinuz
label = Linux
# i've tried commenting out read-only, but to no avail
read-only
initrd=/initrd.img
root=/dev/hda4
image=/vmlinuz.old
label = "Linux 2.4"
read-only
append = "hdc=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi"
initrd=/initrd.img.old
root=/dev/hda4
other=/dev/hda1
label="Windows 98"
thanks in advance for any help,
macho
