 Posted: Fri Jul 29, 2005 3:30 pm Post subject: Kernel panic |
 |
|
First off i want to appoligize because i know there are many kernel panics posted already.
for the most part i'm an entire linux newbie, I've had a sall bit of experience with a few other distros but gentoo has caught my eye and i am determined to fight this one out.
I thought i followed the handbook but i obviously missed something I am installing Gentoo on my ASUS Z81K laptop
AMD 64 3000+
1 gig of ram
ati 9700 mobility radeon
i used genkernel to compile my kernel, grub works fine for booting me into windows but booting into gentoo gives me this:
| Code: |
XFS: bad magic number
XFS: SB validate failed
Kernelpanic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(1,0)
|
I assume the problem is in my grub.conf and as soon as i get a knoppix cd downloaded and burned i'll post that as well. |

| I think the problem is the with the windows. Once you remove that everything should work ok. |

 Don't give that kind of answer, it's useless and wrong.
This is a kernel error due to a driver problem.. post more info about hardware and current fstab.

ok sorry about the delay ingetting this info up.

# NOTE: If your BOOT partition is ReiserFS, add the notail option to opts.

# NOTE: The next line is critical for boot!
none /proc proc defaults 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)
# Adding the following line to /etc/fstab should take care of this:
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0

|
|
I'm not sure thats wrong, but IIRC there is no K8, shouldn't it be
Also this line looks wrong to me considering your kernel panic is claiming an XFS
| Code: |
/dev/hda4 / ext3 noatime 0 0
|
I would boot in using the minimal install cd
Then find out what the file system type is on hda4 and make sure your fstab is set properly. |

| When i set up with fdisk before i'm positive that i used ext2 and ext3 file systems only. which is part of the reason that i am lost on why this error has come up. Thanks for the suggestion though |

k8 or athlon64 is ok for amd64 users - which I supposed you are.
The XFS error is not the one causing the crash... got similar problem when kernel failed to load disk. Just the kernel checking the different filesystem compiled in kernel. XFS just happen to be last one before your problem.
If you disks are not SATA, I would check your IDE support in kernel - need to be compile in also ! genkernel is not always correct.
If you boot from the liveCD and do an "lsmod" you can see all modules loaded. Not all might be useful but look for some IDE related ones, and be sure they are compiled in kernel.
Do you have other disks ?

| mm thank you for your help friend. I am an AMD64 user yes. I kind of suspected i would end up rebuilding the kernel, suppose i was simply looking for a way around that, but this will allow me a chance to correct some other things. Thanks everyone for the info and the help. I'm sure i'll need more in the future. |
