2.6.19: VFS: Cannot Open root device "sda1" or unknown-block(0,0)
VFS: Cannot Open root device "sda1" or unknown-block(0,0)
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on /dev/sda1 (0,0) I've been trying to compile a new 2.6.19 Kernel since a few days ago, and i just cant seem to fix this problem, i am using ReiserFS on my hard drive; and i made sure that the module for that FS is embedded in my Kernel binary: CONFIG_REISERFS_FS=y # CONFIG_REISERFS_CHECK is not set # CONFIG_REISERFS_PROC_INFO is not set CONFIG_REISERFS_FS_XATTR=y # CONFIG_REISERFS_FS_POSIX_ACL is not set # CONFIG_REISERFS_FS_SECURITY is not set This is a Laptop with Serial ATA so the modules are there as well: CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE_SATA=y And my grub tells the MBR that where the root partition is: title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.19 root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.19 root=/dev/sda1 ro ramdisk_size=100000 lang=us apm=power-off nomce vga=791 savedefault So, i dont know what im missing, i used the same configuration for the 2.6.18.3 version and everything works fine, in fact it is the running Kernel as i type this, so i hope that someone can help me out here, what am i missing? |
between 2.6.18 and 2.6.19 kernel, it were a small difference in the config of s-ata drive. Sata drive is now in Device Drivers and not in scsi branch.. you need to reselect your controller and it should work;)

Thanks for the help, charleykadet - your answer was spot on.
Here's some of my details for others with the same problem. I upgraded my kernel from linux-2.6.18-gentoo-r1 to linux-2.6.19-gentoo-r2 (running Gentoo, obviously) and on boot I found that the new kernel remapped the root partition on my SATA drive from /dev/sda3 (in 2.6.18) to /dev/hda3. Not pretty. Soooo ... using 'genkernel --menuconfig --oldconfig all', I selected the following: Device Drivers ---> Serial ATA (prod) and Parallel ATA (experimental) drivers ---> <*> ATA device support <*> Intel PIIX/ICH SATA support The last option should be based on your hardware. I have a Toshiba Satellite M105 and selected the driver based on this line from 'lspci': 00:1f.2 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801GBM/GHM (ICH7 Family) Serial ATA Storage Controller IDE (rev 02) After a recompile and reboot, everything started working flawlessly. |
Still not working for me
Sorry for the late reply, i was out on vacation; but this issue is still not working for me after following the suggestions, i have a Lenovo T60 with the same SATA controller:
00:1f.2 SATA controller: Intel Corporation 82801GBM/GHM (ICH7 Family) Serial ATA Storage Controller AHCI (rev 02) Anything else i should check? |
Post the output of lspci - I'll see what I can find.

I seem to be in the same exact boat. Heres my lspci...

Have you seen this thread about grub and SATA?
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...d.php?t=454864 By the way, does your laptop actually have a SATA drive in it? If it's an ATA drive, the "CONFIG_PATA_MPIIX=y" might be your problem, as it will cause PATA drives to be under control of the SATA controller and probably would change them from HD to SD drives. You might turn that flag off just to check. |
Here is my lspci:

I fixed my problem, by recompiling using this options:

Good to hear that you're back up and running. The PATA info is great as well.
I have to admit that I've gotten lazy by using menuconfig rather than hand editing the .config. Takes care of a lot of problems and dependencies (like the one above), but it occasionally messes me up as well. |
"CONFIG_SATA_INTEL_COMBINED=y"
Doesn't this say that IDE devices are SATA controlled? Or do I have this confused with something else? Regardless, glad you got it working! ata/Kconfig: config SATA_INTEL_COMBINED bool depends on IDE=y && !BLK_DEV_IDE_SATA && (SATA_AHCI || ATA_PIIX) default y |
I'm experiencing several troubles running 2.6.19.1 kernel on my vaio sz2M, which has the same sata controller of yours.
Sometimes it doesn't recognizes the sata controller during the boot and, naturally, cannot find the system disk.

At last
Hello,
on few forums I found that when i compile filesystem in kernel - don't need to use initrd - got <*> for all ext3, made: # make-kpkg -initrd kernel_image kernel_headers modules_image now works :P Now I don't know how to turn on second core(Intel Core Duo 1.6GHz), I have: <*> Symmetric multi-processing support Processor family (Core 2/newer Xeon) My kernel config is here: http://lg21.bestbit.org/config (anybody knows how to turn on second core?) Thanks for any clues/help in advance. |
For intel chip... you must compile AHCI in s-ata devices...
|
Thanks :).

Ok, I have a similar problem. I'm going from 2.6.17 to 2.6.20, and I got the same errors as havok above. I have an Asus MB, which uses Nvidia chips for the SATA controller. Here's the hardware:
Code:
00:00.0 RAM memory: nVidia Corporation C51 Host Bridge (rev a2) When I boot onto the new kernel, I see "Loading Linux-2.6.20.............." and it stops there. Is there some huge step that I missed? I only added the two options and the kernel doesnt boot anymore. |
Quote:
when switching to >2.6.20.3, problems get solved... |
Got the same - initrd!!
Try compiling kernel with: make-kpkg kernel-image kernel-headers --initrd --append-to-version -lg21 --revision 1.0 |
