 Posted: Tue Aug 08, 2006 4:34 pm Post subject: Kernel message:unable to mount the root filesystem ( FIXED ) |
 |
|
Hello. Here is my disk :
hda1 - NTFS
hda2 - ROOT
hda3 - SWAP
hda4 - EXTENDED
hda5 - BOOT
hda6 - HOME
hda7 -....
...
etc.
So, after the installation when I remove the CD and reboot, my kernel refuses to mount the ROOT filesystem.
There is a message like "unable to mount the root filesystem"... or something like this. But this message appears before INIT.
Here is my GRUB conf :
tittle = LINUX
root (hd0,4)
kernel /boot/..... root=/dev/hda2
or something like this... I think this line "root (hda0,4)" is correct, beause the kernel boots. But it fails to mount the root filesystem.
Here is my fstab, too :
| Code: |
/dev/hda5 /boot ext2 defaults,noatime,noauto 1 2
/dev/hda2 / ext3 default,noatime,noauto 0 1
/dev/hda3 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/hda6 /home ext3 noatime,nodev,nosuid,nouser,noauto 0 2
/dev/hda7 /tmp ext3 noatime,nodev,nosuid,nouser,noexec,noauto 0 2
/dev/hda8 /home/ext3 ext3 noatime,nodev,nosuid,user,noauto 0 2
/dev/hda9 /home/static reiserfs noatime,nodev,nosuid,nouser,noauto,ro,noexe
c 0 2
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,user,ro -0 0
#/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto -0 0
|
So... could anybody help ? Thanks in advance...

MyDebian,
Does your error message end in | Code: | | unknown-block (x,y) |
where x and y are numbers ?
If so, please post the numbers.
If not, we need your error message verbatium.

| make sure you have ext3 file system support compiled in your kernel under the filesystems section. Also, make sure your PATA/SATA controller has the correct drivers installed. If you have SATA controller look under the low level scsi drivers section and mark SATA and your specific SATA chipset. |

Thank you, I have fixed it. I think the problem was in the boot - logical partition. Have a nice day.  |
