Cannot make 2.6.* Kernel work!
Ok, I've tried compiling both 2.6.4 and 2.6.6 numerous times, and no matter how much I try they never ever work. Please help me figure out what I'm doing wrong.
I get a Kernel Panic when I try to run it, and here is the error message I get: "VFS: Cannot open root device "1607" or unknown-block(22,7) Please append a correct "root =" boot option Kernel Panic VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(22,7)" I can't figure it out... I thought maybe I didn't have my hd set up right for the kernel and included anything it could even remotely need for it, still no luck. If it matters, I am using a Seagate SATA Harddrive on an ASUS P4C-800 mobo w/ P4. thanks... |
also, you may need to know.... I'm using xt3 filesystem and am running Slackware 9.1

Hmm, sounds like 2 things may be wrong:
1) You didnt compile support for your filesystem into the kernel 2) You didnt install the appropriate drivers for SATA support. |
I'm pretty sure I did on both of those... any other ideas?
|
are you sure you created the initrd image?
could you post the contents of your grub.conf file? |
I am a chinese, maybe you didn't understand what's i say
first change the directory the kernel source, for example: #cd linux-2.6.6 #make menuconfig select "Dvice Drivers->ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL support->" you hat to select this "ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL support" #make #make modules #make modules_instal #make install configure the boot manager #reboot Good lucky! If not succes! please mail to youxia_2008@yahoo.com.cn or tsingming@hotmail.com i'd like help you! Remember send me the .config file to me! |
did you edit /etc/lilo.conf to point to the new kernel, and did you run lilo before rebooting??
