Posted: Tue Oct 10, 2006 2:10 am Post subject: Configuring kernel for acpi, errors |
|
|
Hi,
I'm using Gentoo for the first time and trying to configure my kernel. I've never had to do this, so I'm making a few mistakes. First of all, when I run
Code: | make && make modules_install |
I get this in my output
Code: | ...
MODPOST WARNING: drivers/acpi/processor.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.data: from .text between 'acpi_processor_power_init' (at offset 0xf96) and 'acpi_safe_halt' |
When I boot, it freezes during the load
Code: | ...
VFS: Cannot open root device "ram0" or unknown-block(0,0)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
...
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0) |
I'm running a Dell Inspiron 1300, Pentium M and I'm trying to enabl acpi in the kernel.
Brandon |

Here's my partitions:
hda1 - 47MB FAT16 (Dell Diagnostics)
hda2 - 26.34GB NTFS (WinXP)
hda3 - 101.98MB ext2 (Boot)
hda4 - 29.4GB (extended)
hda5 - 988.34MB (swap)
hda6 - 28.44GB ext3 (gentoo)
here's grub.conf. The one titled Gentoo (Brandon) is the kernel I'm having trouble with, the other is just from gentoo-sources.

I've decided that while I might be able to fix the kernel I've been working on, since it's my first time doing this, I'd like to take my working kernel configuration and try to start from that, rather than starting from scratch. Is there anyway to do this? |

Maybe you don't understand what I'm saying, or maybe I just don't understand, but I don't think I have a config file for the kernel I'm using. It was automatically configured for me, but without some of the things I want. I'm also not sure what you mean by "new kernel." I just want to take the kernel out of /boot and reconfigure that if possible. Otherwise, I'd like to have something detect my hardware and configure the kernel based on that, if that's even possible. |

Right. By new kernel i meant... another new kernel, as in scrap the one that is in /usr/src. Also the file that is in /boot is not a kernel, it is an executable and bootable kernel image, bzImage or vmlinux/z.
I think you should leave the idea of a automatically generated kernel behind. Find out what hardware you have and compile your kernel manually and when something goes wrong just ask here and we can help you add it in, soon you'll be doing your own kernels all over the place and you'll wonder why you never did before.

This is the tutorial I followed the first time that I screwed up with, but now that I've given it a shot maybe it will make more sense. I'll give it another try tomorrow, but I have some questions in the mean time. I'm not sure what you meant by "delete the file that /usr/src/linux is symlinked to." Deleting the image I think I understood, that was the file I copied to /boot after configuring and making the kernel, right? I deleted all my different test images that failed then. I accidentily saved over the .config, so is there a way to get it back to the default? |

ok, easy way to sort this out.
First delete all the kernel files in /boot, those will be the System.Map files (if you copied them over) the .config files (if you copied them over) and the kernel images.
Then go to /usr/src and delete all the files *except* the linux directory. Do a ls -al to make sure that the only thing in there is a directory called "linux" and it is not symlinked to anything.
Then emerge gentoo-sources That will take everything back to how it was before anything happened and you should have a directory in /usr/src called linux-2.6.XX-blah-blah
then Code: | ln -s /usr/src/linux-2.6.XX-blah /usr/src/linux | then go through the configuring the kernel part again.
It took me a couple of goes to get my kernel right, i'd find that i had missed something out and recompile but it is very simple to fix, you just add the bit you missed out and make && make modules_install _________________ https://otw20.com/ OTW20 The new place for off the wall chat |

Ok, It stopped with the same error
Code: | VFS: Cannot open root device "ram0" or unknown-block(0,0)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0) |
I'm obviously missing something in the kernel or the way it's booted in grub. |

I'm obviously missing something in the kernel or the way it's booted in grub. | This time we are going to write the grub.conf differently. You should take a look in the handbook about grub, i think it will think that you have compiled your kernel by hand so we need to set up grub without the genkernel specific options ram0 etc
change this:
Code: | title Gentoo Linux (Brandon)
root (hd0,2)
kernel /kernel-2.6.17-gentoo-richard root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc ramdisk=8192 real_root=/dev/hda6
initrd /initramfs-genkernel-x86-2.6.17-gentoo-r7 |
to this:
Code: | title Gentoo Linux (Brandon)
root (hd0,2)
kernel /kernel-2.6.17-gentoo-richard root=/dev/hda6
|
Change the kernel /kernel-2.6.17-gentoo-richard line to whatever you have called the kernel that is in /boot _________________ https://otw20.com/ OTW20 The new place for off the wall chat |

If this all works i want you compiling your own kernel from now on ok? All you have to do is know what hardware you have (mobo bits, chipset, graphics card, sound card) what fs you want (very important) and you can go through and have a look at other bit's you might want. If you dont understand any of it then just ask, that is why Gentoo is know for it's community ![Smile :)](images/smiles/icon_smile.gif) _________________ https://otw20.com/ OTW20 The new place for off the wall chat |

Don't ask me why some of the options repeat, I have deleted them out using Gnome's boot wizard several times, but on each reboot they duplicate. I tried fixing what you mentioned earlier about initrd not saying the same thing as kernel, but it didn't seem to help. |

OK... Even though I'm doing this mostly to learn, I suppose I still always want to take the easy way out. I'll just have to remember that if I wanted it easy, I could just throw Ubuntu on there and that isn't what I want to do.
Aside from that, I don't see how you've changed grub.conf any besides cleaning it up. I looked at the differences between the working and nonworking and noticed initrd was different between them, so I tried this:
Code: | title Gentoo Linux (Test Kernel)
root (hd0,2)
kernel /kernel-2.6.17-eins root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc ramdisk=8192 real_root=/dev/hda6
initrd /initramfs-kernel-2.6.17-eins |
I figured it wouldn't work and I was correct. It gives me an error, file not found. I recall initrd or initramfs being something I can enable when configuring the kernel, so would this create that file? I'm probably way off, but I don't really know what else to even try. |

Oh, I have deleted that kernel file now. Now the one I am working with is kernel-2.6.17-eins, so I see what you've changed now.
I just tried it and now I get the same error, except instead of saying Cannot open root device "ram0" it says "hda6" The rest of the error is the same after that. |

Yes, I actually thought about that as I was in class, but it doesn't work. It just swaps "hda5" into the error where "ram0" was. I think root=/dev/hda6 is correct because that is how it is set up with my working configuration.
Edit: I also tried it with
Code: | title Gentoo Linux (Test Kernel)
root (hd0,2)
kernel /kernel-2.6.17-eins root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc ramdisk=8192 real_root=/dev/hda5
initrd /initramfs-kernel-2.6.17-eins |
but this didn't work either. |

ok, Code: | unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0) | usually means that the driver for your storage driver isn't loaded in the kernel (which i find hard to believe).

There's my lspci output. I actually thought of that earlier, so I did some research on my drive. It connects through Ultra ATA, which I read up on and it seemed to be an update of regular ATA, so I wasn't sure if I needed SCSI and SATA drivers.
Edit: I already had SCSI support, but I'm now adding
Device Drivers
SCSI Driver Support
SCSI Lowlevel Drivers
[*] Serial ATA (SATA) Support
[*] Intel PIIX/ICH SATA support
I think the Intel ICH one is the one that matches my lspci output because I keep seeing "ICH6 Family." |

do a quick grep of the .config for the SATA stuff:
Code: | cat /usr/src/linux.config | grep SATA |

Doing a grep on linux.config turned up a file not found, so I did it on .config which is what it has been saving changes to I think.
Code: | # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE_SATA is not set
CONFIG_SCSI_SATA=y
# CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_AHCI is not set
# CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_SVW is not set
# CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_MV is not set
# CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_NV is not set
# CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_QSTOR is not set
# CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_PROMISE is not set
# CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_SX4 is not set
# CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_SIL is not set
# CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_SIL24 is not set
