This happened on my five days old testing system.
After I patched tproxy, did
Code:
zcat /proc/config.gz>.config
and then
Code:
make && make modules_install
I rebooted the system and I was confronted with the following error;
Code:
This is Hostname(none) (Linux i686 2.6.22-gentoo-r5) 11:56:55
Hostname login:Oops:0002[#1]
SMP
Modules linked in:8139 too 8139 cp mii rtc uhi_hcd usbcore
CPU:0
EIP: 0060:[<d08273f4] Not tainted VLI
...........Some characters here ..................
Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal Exception in interrupt

Why did I get this?
What options are open to me?
Please advise.

Grub boot option Rescue shell says:
root (hd1,0)
Error 21: Selected disk does not exist

Best Regards

why did you patch tproxy?? (i cannot find any entry in bugs.gentoo.org concerning tproxy)

one possibility is to switch back to the original unpatches kernel. i could perhaps give you others after knowing what you are intending with patching...

Also, remember that when re-using an old config (/proc/config.gz), you should do a 'make oldconfig' first, so your config gets validated and updated to fit your current kernel. Don't ever skip that step. You won't like the results of a kernel that got compiled with a bad config. Also, regarding your kernel panic problem... if you didn't have this problem before patching the kernel, that's most likely what's responsible for the problem. So I suggest you don't apply patches to your kernel.

I was at fault to not have done 'make oldconfig' . I had skipped this step because it is not listed here http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=1&chap=7#doc_chap3 .

I can not forget that I am trying Gentoo only for TPROXY. And so I must patch it.

For now I have reinstalled the kernel. I have patched the kernel again and this time I shall not foget to do 'make oldmenuconfig'

Thanks for replying so quickly.

Best Regards
