[SOLVED] New disk crashes on boot

RandomTroll · 02-17-2019, 10:02 AM

I bought a new hard drive for my laptop. I connected with a USB-SATA adaptor. I fdisked it, then

Code:

 mkfs.ext4 -cvj -t ext4

ed it,

Code:

 cp -urp / /mnt/hd/

ed it,

Code:

 lilo -C /mnt/hd/etc/lilo.conf -b /dev/sdb -m /mnt/hd/boot/map

ed it (It was /dev/sdb, mounted on /mnt/hd). When I boot from it (still attached externally) I get

Modules linked in:
CPU: 1 PIC: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 4.20.10 #97
Hardware name: eMachines eMachines E725 /eMachines E725 , BIOS V3.04 12/16/2009
RIP: 0010: native_smp_send_reschedule+0x35/0x40

about a dozen lines of a trace,

followed by more trace.

e2fsck finds the disk okay; diff finds everything the same.

Later: I installed the latest package kernel & modules (Slackware's 4.19.23) and get the same result. I also used

Code:

lilo -r /mnt/hd

It seems that the USB port is defective: when I remove my working drive, install it on the USB adaptor, I get the same error.
