 Posted: Sat Feb 21, 2004 6:05 pm Post subject: oh no the kernel panicked |
 |
|
ok I had this system mostly up a week ago but it kept on locking up after about 20-30 mins(that time I did a stage 1 install) I tried to take some advice from a few other people and just installed the stage 3 install when I tried again this time.
So I started from the begining followed the instructions and went through eveerything. Didn't have anything go wrong no files it couldn't find on emerge nothing. I thought I was doing so good, then when I take out the liveCDs for the first time and reboot using my new kernerl (kernel-2.4.22-gentoo-r5) from gentoo-sources same one I used before when it ran on me mentioned above and it craps out on me giving me this error
| Code: | RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0
Freeing initrd memory: 1812K freed
UDF-fs: No VRS found
sh-2021:reiserfs_read_super: can not find reiserfs on ramdisk(1,0)
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 01:00 |
On a side note I just want to thank Everyone that gives feedback in this forum, So far I have posted problems and questions in the Installing Gentoo forrum, the portage problems forrum and a couple of other forrum topics and I have only recieved feedback on my questions in the Installing Gentoo forum.
I want to thank everone who has answered all my previous questions. |

| maybe you set the root device wrong in lilo or grub? trying editing the /etc/lilo.conf or /boot/grub/grub.conf file so that it knows which device is your root device (i.e. the one you want to boot from) |

I have besides I copied the file I used for grub that worked just last week to a disk as a text file so I can just copy and paste while I am SSHed into my box here is the file I used that booted ok last week. and I left my /etc/fstab below it.
| Code: | default 0 #this sets the first menu option to boot after timeout
timeout 60 #There will be a 1 minute delay before the default is booted

title=Windows XP Pro
root (hd0,0)
chainloader (hd0,0)+1
title=Gentoo Linux 2.4.22
root (hd1,0)
kernel (hd1,0)/boot/kernel-2.4.22-gentoo-r5 root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc real_root=/dev/hdb3 vga=0x317 splash=silent

# Adding the following line to /etc/fstab should take care of this:

| Did you use genkernel or did you manually configure your kernel? If you used genkernel, that would explain the "weird and freaky" line Angrybob was talking about. If you manually configured, then your grub.conf would need to be changed. |

my system complained the same once when the kernel didn't have XFS support in it, and the system was installed on an XFS-partition..

I had the same error this morning (how convenient:D ) I realized that when I compiled my kernel, I had mistakenly told it to load my filesystem suport as a module. (cat /boot/config....) . I changed that to built in and recompiled my kernel, then after that it was fine.

Is this in your kernel config?
| Quote: | unicorn enlight # cat /usr/src/linux/.config | grep INITRD
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD=y
|
Edit : ouch a 2.4 kernel, hope the same option exists... |
