Kernel Panic/Crux 2.7 @VBox

thosch97 · 12-24-2010, 02:37 AM

Hello Everyone,

I just installed Crux 2.7 on VirtualBox, but when I detach the ISO of the installer and reboot, I get a Kernel Panic:

A friend of mine who knows much more about Linux than me told me, that the module for the SATA-Controller is not compiled into the kernel. I looked up what controller it is (lspci), but I didn't really find it in the menu to compile the kernel (make menuconfig).

Does anybody know a solution?

Well, is it secret? If it's not, perhaps you can tell us what your sata controller is :-).
Make sure you have 'experimental drivers' accepted in one of the early menus, otherwise you won't see some drivers at all. I would compile in generic and whatever the drivers from the correct manufacturer. Your new one is hopefully just a rehash of old stuff.

Can someone tell me that I'm stupid?
It's just the emulated conrtoller of VirtualBox:

EDIT: About the experimental drivers... I don't really find this option

If you can find your own mistakes, you are doing well. Your own ones are toughest to find because you _know_ they're right.

About Experimental drivers, I didn't steer you very well
General Setup --> Prompt for development and/or incomplete code/drivers

Of course, I don't know if you'll need them now. Intel stuff is fairly well supported.
