Custom kernel 2.6.22 name change from hda to sda

bristi · 07-15-2007, 05:05 AM

Hi

Im trying to compile a 2.6.22 kernel primarily to solve nvidia binary driver problems because of GPL-only symbol 'paravirt_ops'.

My custom kernel seems to not be able to find /dev/hda2, but is able to locate my lvm setup which is also located on /dev/hda:

Code:

fsck 1.40-WIP (14-Nov-2006)
fsck.ext3: No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/hda2
/dev/hda2:
The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2
filesystem.  If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2
filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock
is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:
    e2fsck -b 8193 <device>

/dev/mapper/justinius-lvol1: clean, 118717/2621440 files, 4763491/5242880 blocks
/dev/mapper/justinius-lvol2: clean, 10337/393216 files, 526459/786432 blocks
fsck died with exit status 8

/boot is located on /dev/hda2. I am able to continue booting by pressing CTRL-D, but /boot is of course empty. It seems to have something to do with the way the kernel maps my disk which is an ATA-100 (Hitachi TravelStar 5K100 40GB). Im using the ICH6 chipset and this seems to cause the change from hda to sda. The link talks about the kernel selecting ide-generic before ich6 if available and that this should name my disk hda, but remove DMA ability. ide-generic is enabled in my kernel though, and it still renames my disk.

How are the debian kernels built to avoid this? What can I do, either in kernel config, or in my configuration files (fstab,device.map..) to fix it so that both the official debian kernels and my custom built kernels work?

I tried the 2.6.22 from experimental, which works fine, but I am not able to see where my config differs causing the troubles (bloated is my custom kernel):

I'm doing it the debian way with make-kpkg. First I used the 2.6.21 config from lenny to do a 'make oldconfig'. I was mostly conservative in my selections, wanting something that works to begin with. I then ran 'make-kpkg --initrd --append-to-version=.bloated20070713 kernel_image modules_image', not doing an --revision to begin with. Installed the kernel and rebooted. And then above error message.

hello,

the paravirt_ops issue can be solved with a patched driver (bottom of the page contains readily patched packages).

I had experienced the drive remapping issue as well, when switching from a stock 2.6.18 to a self-made 2.6.20 (hdb -> sdc) and from the 2.6.20 to a stock 2.6.21 (sdc -> hdb).
However, I didn't see any of the disadvantages as described in the thread you have linked, so I didn't really search for the cause (just edited the necessary config files). In fact I thought it had something to do with the the change of the ata support (libata) in 2.6.20, but this doesn't explain the new remapping in 2.6.21 of course ...

Thanks for the fast reply and the link to patched nvidia drivers!

Would still like to be able to run both debian and custom kernels though, and build the nvidia closed source (yuck..) binary the debian way.

It doesn't seem to be debian-centric, as another thread talks of similar issues in RHEL and CENTOS. Bottom post (#7) talks about not using PATA drivers and that its only a question about how you configure your kernel. I honestly thought it was all about a debian patch as my 'custom' kernel is configured almost the same as the plain debian, which is ICH6 and ide-generic are both modules.

I've just found that I compiled PATA_MPIIX as a module and that it was unset in the 2.6.22 in experimental (Nice diff job I did there..). Tried unsetting it and am compiling.

No luck..

I don't get it. Is it a debian kernel patch? Or am I just missing something here.. It's honestly been a while since I last compiled my own kernels, but maybe I should bite and spend a few hours configuring from scratch..

It would really be sweet to be able to both use debian kernels and customized kernels with same configuration files.. Just for kicks; which configuration files exactly should I configure, and how?
Since grub apparently has no problems I was thinking not to change device.map (even though it refers to /dev/hda). Actually it should be sufficient to change fstab, right?

New diff, .rc5 from experimental, .1 is my 'custom':

Just for kicks; which configuration files exactly should I configure, and how?

/etc/fstab and /boot/grub/menu.lst at minimum for the root fs (change /dev/hda2 to whatever it is now).
If you are using dm-crypted partitions, then there's /etc/crypttab, for some features you might also need to update your initrd image (if you use one).
