After reboot my machine, and select 2.6.7-pre kernel at select screen, my machine indicates
VFS: Cannot open root device "1601" or unknown-block(22,1)
and kernel paniced.
If I try to use 2.4.26 kernel image, it boot up normally.
I upgraded all packages in my machine from slackware-current.
Also, I already try to use /testing/packages/linux-2.6.6/kernel-generic-2.6.6-i486-1 and kernel-modules-2.6.6-i486-1, but same error message occurred.
I use Serial-ATA HDD in my machine, and devide 3 partions as below.
Disk /dev/hdc: 164.6 GB, 164696555520 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 20023 cylinders
Units = cylinder of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hdc1 * 1 9726 78124063+ 83 Linux
/dev/hdc2 9727 19999 82517872+ 83 Linux
/dev/hdc3 20000 20023 192780 82 Linux Swap
hdc1 and hdc2 formatted as XFS.
/dev/hdc1 is /, /dev/hdc2 is /home.
I made XFS driver as included in the kernel, not modules.
Of course, I also made Serial-ATA driver in the kernel, not modules.
My machine's spec is
CPU: Pentium4
M/B: MSI 865PE2 NEO2
Chipset: Intel 865PE
Memory: 1GB
I thought I answered this thread? hmmmm I wanna say I replied with asking if you had all your proper filesystems compiled into the kernel. A kernel may not have the right ones by default.
