Unable to mount etx3 on laptop : kernel panic
I have a laptop which doesn’t have a brandname. It is a ‘china make’ and I think is assembled laptop. This laptop uses a promise SATA card, to which a harddisk is connected. So, during booting it requires a promise SATA card driver, otherwise Harddisk is not detected properly. I faced this problem with Windows and Linux installation. I could install linux in 3rd attempt. Anyways now the problem is that when i recompiled kernel 2.6.15.4 on the same machine it gives the following kernel panic message:
****************************************************************
