Kernel 3.0 giving me panic :)
I was very exited to try out new kernel version so i decided to give it a try.
http://www.conceivablytech.com/7683/...-linux-3-0-rc1 So i downloaded the kernel 3.0-rc1 from http://www.kernel.org/ It was my first kernel compilation everything went smooth until i reboot the system .New kernel is not loading and giving me following error. The root partition is using LVM and its having no trouble booting from previous 2.6.18-92.el5 kernel . Code:
Red Hat nash version 5.1.19.6 starting Code:
# uname -r |

Could you please describe in more detail how you did the configuration of your kernel? Markus |

Did you check with
Code:
make xconfig Code:
grep -i _md .config |
Also did you read any background on the 3.0 kernel? Could be they have changed the way some options are stored. This may affect the fact that you used the old config and those options were named different or not compatible. Markus' idea about grepping for the desired elements should help.

Fair enough ... haven't had a go yet myself so just throwing up some ideas :)

The root cause of the problem is in the "Volume not mounted" message.
The message, "not syncing - attempted to kill init" is slightly cryptic, but here is what it really means:
And so it is. init is one of those very-special processes that are "hand-made" by Linux during the startup sequence. It is fundamental to the operation of the system, such that Linux cannot run if this process is not in good health. If this process dies, or fails to start, or gets killed, for any reason at all, the kernel will stop cold ("panic") with this message. But, as you can now see, this message is a symptom, or perhaps a consequence, of "the real problem" which occurred moments before. Conditions prevailed at startup-time which made it impossible for init either to start or to stay started, and Linux has no choice but to halt if this ever happens. |

You could try setting all the 'm' to 'y' as it may be that the driver cannot be a module as Markus mentioned in earlier post.

However i forget to give you some information which i m revealing now. I was running short of disk space in / partition so i added a new disk and added to / partition using LVM. Is this a cause of the trouble. I have also googled the problem and found something which might be related to the error. http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/lvm2.xml Since this is my first kernel compilation i m little confused on what to do ? |
Hi,
are you sure, that you can boot with your old kernel? After your last post I'm not sure if the problem actually is the new kernel. BTW, I read the announcement for kernel 3.0-rc1 at linux.kernel and Linus Torvalds states that there is no big changes in the kernel: Quote:

Just want to point out that while there are only small changes between 2.6.39 and 3.0-rc1, there are some very significant changes between 2.6.18 and 2.6.39.

Hello evo2,
that's a very good point, I didn't recognize that the OP's old kernel is outdated. Markus |
