I am trying to bring a gentoo ~amd64 system bootable on VMWare vSphere 4.1U1 Xeon hardware. The LiveCD kernel works fine.
I'm getting the following kernel panic, any ideas what I might be doing wrong, and in what areas I might look for missing kernel CONFIG?
| Code: | Booting '2.6.38-gentoo-r1'
root (hd0,0)
Filesystem is of type ext2fs, partition type 0x83
kernel /boot/kernel-genkernel-x86_64-2.6.38-gentoo-r1 root=/dev/sda1 LANG=en_US.UTF-8 KEYTABLE=us quiet
[Linux-bzImage, setup=0x3400, size=0x25e180]
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)
Pid: 1, comm: swapper Not tainted 2.6.38-gentoo-r1 #1
Call Trace:
[<ffffffffff81358418>] > 0xffffffffff81358418
... |
A small sample of the kernel config, let me know which other CONFIG items to show:
| Code: | # grep VM /etc/kernels/kernel-config-x86_64-2.6.38-gentoo-r1
# CONFIG_DEBUG_PERF_USE_VMALLOC is not set
CONFIG_VM_EVENT_COUNTERS=y
CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP_ENABLE=y
CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP=y
CONFIG_VMWARE_BALLOON=y
CONFIG_VMWARE_PVSCSI=y
CONFIG_VMXNET3=y
# CONFIG_I2C_TAOS_EVM is not set
CONFIG_PROC_VMCORE=y
# CONFIG_DEBUG_VM is not set
# CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM is not set
# CONFIG_CRYPTO_VMAC is not set
CONFIG_HAVE_KVM=y
CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_IRQCHIP=y
CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_EVENTFD=y
CONFIG_KVM_APIC_ARCHITECTURE=y
CONFIG_KVM_MMIO=y
CONFIG_KVM_ASYNC_PF=y
CONFIG_KVM=m
CONFIG_KVM_INTEL=m
# CONFIG_KVM_AMD is not set |
| Code: | (chroot) livecd net # cat /etc/fstab
# <fs> <mountpoint> <type> <opts> <dump/pass>
/dev/sda1 / ext4 defaults 0 1
shm /dev/shm tmpfs nodev,nosuid,noexec 0 0 |
Thanks! |
