 |
|
| I just updated from kernel 2.6.0 to 2.6.1 (gentoo-dev-sources) and when I reboot, it fails... it seems to be failing somewhere around my hardware RAID, as hde is giving interrupt errors on bootup and gets into an infinite loop of doing so... does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? I didn't change any configuration... after emerging it, I copied over the old config file from 2.6.0, changed the symlink, and make oldconfig && make and copied over the bzImage... on 2.6.0 everything is running perfectly... any ideas anyone? |

You should at least have run menuconfig to see if any options had changed or been added - always a possibility with a new kernel.
As it is, you have no guarantee that using the old .config file actually built exactly the same kernel. |

I did that already and tried rebuilding the kernel again after going through everything in there which all looked fine, and that didn't help...
I'm guessing it has to do with this in the changelog:

[libata promise] fix another ugly bug
For the SX4, only one Host DMA (local DIMM) engine is on the hardware,
while there is an ATA engine for each SATA port. This means that
Host DMA transactions must be queued. When previously fixing this problem
(the driver had previously assumed an HDMA engine per port), I stored
the HDMA packet queue in a per-port data structure.
This was incorrect: this patch changes it to correctly use a
per-host data structure, not a per-port structure. |
I am using Promise ATA FastTrak133 RAID 0... |

I used the make oldconfig option, and it worked nice. Their were maybe three options that it asked me about, which I said no to all. It seems like a hanndy way when updating later versions. That may not help your problem(it might), I just felt like adding my two cents. I am sure you will figure it out
