Kernel panic after updating to 2.6.10
I was able to install Fedora 3 on a system with a HighPoint SATA RAID controller. However, after I downloaded and installed the latest kernel (2.6.10), the system won't boot up anymore.
Actually, everytime I upgraded the kernel on a system with 'third party' controller driver installed, the system always failed after reboot. Can someone please tell me how I can reload the HighPoint SATA RAID controller driver before/after I reboot the system? What do I have to do to install a new kernel and have the system bootup with those 'third party' controller driver? If I have to recompile something, can you show me how? I don't have any problem in updating the kernel with the IDE hard drive. Thanks for your help. |
The instalation of the new kernel may have missed some configuration on the sata support, to recompile a kernel of your own you should download the latest version from www.kernel.org and look for a tutorial on compiling a new kernel which is kinda hard if you have never done that before, but there are a lot of tutorials around which can guide you trough it and some special ones for sata drivers
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_SATA here you can look how to add sata support when compiling the kernel, I hope this gives you a little help, it got my sata drive working great |
