kernel panic with ntfs slackware 14

donnestorin · 09-15-2013, 08:44 AM

Hi Friends,

I have a small problem.
I have a 1TB HDD. This hard drive had windows.
Then in Fedora I eliminated all Windows directories.
Now that I have Slackware 14 I connect and start the pc. I get a Kernel Panic

How I can fix this?

Pass.

Is this an internal hard drive or an external hard drive?

Do you mean directories or partitions? How did you run Fedora?

How did you install Slackware?
What are the details of the PC?
What is the error that you see?

If you removed Windows directories, then this will not affect Slackware.

Please clarify the disk arrangement. What do you mean by?

Was this a full install?
Did you install the huge kernel or the generic kernel with an initrd?
What is causing the kernel to panic?

1) Was this a full install?
2) Did you install the huge kernel or the generic kernel with an initrd?
3) What is causing the kernel to panic?

1) Yes full install
2) Huge kernel
3) I think that is ntfs package.

Are you trying to install Slackware on an NTFS formatted partition?
It would be best to format the partition to a Linux format. The default is ext4.
Perhaps this will help. http://docs.slackware.com/slackware:install

Perhaps he reconnected the ntfs 1 TB drive after installing Slackware and borked up LILO's drive assignment. I would have him/her boot from the DVD, chroot in and rerun LILO if that is the case.

I use this hard drive as a backup, nothing more, other distributions read my hard drive

PrinceCruise · 09-17-2013, 02:16 AM

1) Did you accidentally install lilo on second hard drive? I'd go with mostlyharmless's suspicion.
2) Did you crate a separate partition for /boot and what file system?

Regards.

Perhaps the OP had Fedora installed on an internal 500GB hard disk, then attempted to install Slackware instead.
If the disk had not been completely reformatted prior to the Slackware install, or LILO was not installed in the MBR, then there may be a problem with a residual GRUB bootloader.

Can you copy the messages that show up before and at the kernel panic? It'll be easier for people to help you out that way.

donnestorin · 09-18-2013, 09:42 PM

At the time I had installed Fedora.
I also had debian on the 500GB hard drive
And they would they acknowledged the ntfs partition.

Just slackware does not recognize the hard drive

gnashley · 09-19-2013, 01:36 AM

So is it just a single hard drive? How is it partitioned?

donnestorin · 09-20-2013, 07:18 PM

2 Partitions NTFS 2 Partitions have many files :-(
