 |
|
I'm running 2.4.20-ck6, but i want to upgrade to something more currant, however i can't boot with any ner kernels
2.4.22-aa1: Hangs at Net4: Unix Domain Sockets 1.0/SMP for Linux Net4.0 even with acpi=off
for the record 2.4.20 pauses here and then goes on, after saying something to the effect of ds: no socket drivers loaded
2.6.0 (and all 2.5): hangs at a filesystem error. | Code: | cannot open root device hde2 or unknown-block(0,0)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel Panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0) |
I have reiserfs compiled natively. and / is hde2
2.4.22-ck2 won't build.
| Code: |
sched.c: In function `load_balance':
sched.c:1044: error: structure has no member named `sleep_timestamp'
|
I'll update this with specfics, but i goot reboot to get output. over and out.

What about if you boot with the kernel option acpi=off? One of my machines, a VIA Epia 800, freezes up just after starting with 2.4.22 if this isn't supplied. I have the same problem on my VIA chipset equipped desktop running 2.6 (haven't tried 2.4.22). Others are reporting ACPI-related freezes with 2.6 as well.
Basically if 2.4.20 is working for you I'd suggest you stick with it. I reckon 2.4.23 will be out within a month, and they've done some ACPI fixes already (heck, if you want to you can probably just download the latest 2.4.23pre and try that).

I got an error similar to the first one once, (can't mount root) because I forgot to include my file system type into the kernel instead of making it a module. So in my case ext3 = Y instead of = M. Try the same for your FS.

Assume , you compiled kernel with initrd support.
Check your bootloader config file. |

I'm getting that now with test5-mm4
Everything was working fine with test5-mm3
Could the person mentioning the initrd provide a few more details ?
btw. checked and double-checked that reiserfs is set to Y and not M..
I seem to have an error in my mm-sources-2.6.0_beta5-r4.ebuild it first patches with epatch then with the standard patch method.. patch comes out asking whether is should assume -R ..

Initrd is needed when you are compiling file system as module.
In that case maybe problems are related to kernel. |

This has been covered a number of times. You have to use a root=#### reference instead of root=/dev/hdx. I posted a detailed explanation in early threads about 2.6 kernels:

so how can i figure out what the major device number is? It's on a separate ide card. I and is it ##02 or ##42? In other words does renumbering restart when i move to the card? And is this a bug, or is it intentional.

what is the 4 digit number for hde2? It doesn't seem that hard, but his post doesn't tell what to do for drives other than hda and hdb. I assume since they have the same major device number, it refers to the chanel. So what about other drives. This doesn't seem like that hard of a question.

I just realized that 2.6 is not detecting the IDE card. I'm using the driver and it works fine in 2.4. What should i do?
