 Posted: Sat Sep 01, 2007 11:21 pm Post subject: Mac book second generation - kernel panic - not syncing |
 |
|
Hey all, I've tried to set up gentoo-current on my mac book, I used the minimal cd, I've been following along with the gentoo hand book
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml and also the wiki page for gentoo on a mac book http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_Apple_MacBook
Please note this is my first time I have attempted to install gentoo (and got this far).
my problem is I can't get the system to get past the below output:
| Code: |
List of all partitions:
0300 514048 hda driver: ide-cdrom
0800 58605120 sda driveR: sd
0801 204800 sda1
0802 29360128 sda2
0803 28909080 sda3
No filesystem could mount root, tried: reiserfs ext3 vfat iso9660 hfsplus fuseblk udf
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(8,3)
|
I have included a copy of my fstab
| Code: |
livecd / # cat /etc/fstab
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# noatime turns off atimes for increased performance (atimes normally aren't
# needed; notail increases performance of ReiserFS (at the expense of storage
# efficiency). It's safe to drop the noatime options if you want and to
# switch between notail / tail freely.
#
# The root filesystem should have a pass number of either 0 or 1.
# All other filesystems should have a pass number of 0 or greater than 1.
#
# See the manpage fstab(5) for more information.
#
# <fs> <mountpoint> <type> <opts> <dump/pa ss>
# NOTE: If your BOOT partition is ReiserFS, add the notail option to opts.
/dev/sda3 /boot ext2 noauto,noatime 1 2
/dev/sda4 / ext3 noatime 0 1
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom audo noauto,ro 0 0
procs /proc proc defaults 0 0
#/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto 0 0
# glibc 2.2 and above expects tmpfs to be mounted at /dev/shm for
# POSIX shared memory (shm_open, shm_unlink).
# (tmpfs is a dynamically expandable/shrinkable ramdisk, and will
# use almost no memory if not populated with files)
shm /dev/shm tmpfs nodev,nosuid,noexec 0 0
|
Here is my fdisk /dev/sda output
| Code: |
Disk /dev/sda: 60.0 GB, 60011642880 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 7296 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 1 26 204819+ ee EFI GPT
/dev/sda2 26 3681 29360128 af Unknown
/dev/sda3 * 3681 3685 34814+ 83 Linux
/dev/sda4 3686 7296 29005357+ 83 Linux
|
/dev/sda3 is my boot partition and /dev/sda4 is my root partition
My lilo config file is below:
| Code: |
livecd / # cat /etc/lilo.conf
#
# Global LILO settings
#
boot=/dev/sda3
timeout=5
default=gentoo
#
# Kernel specific LILO settings
#
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-gentoo-r5-mactel-mactelpatches-macbook-core2duo
initrd = /boot/initrd.img
#
# Uncomment the next line if your MacBook locks up
# during boot with an APIC-related error message
# or if you see strange keyboard problems (double-chars).
#
#append="noapic acpi=force irqpoll"
label=gentoo
read-only
root=/dev/sda4
|
finally, here is my .config that I used to configure my kernel.
I have uploaded it to paste bin because this post was too long when it was included
http://pastebin.com/f2cccbba4
The kernel version I compiled was 2.6.22, I obtained this by issuing
emerge gentoo-sources.
I then applied the mactel patches.
I have also tried to disable ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL support as per a thread I found on this site regarding SATA. This resulted in the same error as before.
My root partition is ext3 and my boot partition is ext2.
I'd appreciate any help you people can offer. Thanks for reading my thread and thanks for your help.

| I have hit similar problem before when I chose compatibility mode for SATA in Bios. The problem went away if I enabled AHCI in Bios. Not sure if it relates to your problem since I wasn't using a mac.... |

theres a line in the .config file called
in my .config it's set to
| Code: |
# CONFIG_SATA_AHCI is not set
|
I'll try enabling it and see what happens, I'll post the results back here.
Thanks for your input. |

Ok I tried it out and all I get on the screen is a bunch of 99's when it boots up.
I guess that wasn't it.
Edit, I got rid of the 99's by adding lilo to the mbr again, I've also tried editing the SATA section of my kernel to this

and disabling IDE complete, still no joy, it asks me to appened the correct root= now and I still get the kernel panic. |
