| |
Hi Everyone -
I know that the Linux kernel 2.1.x is a development system but I wanted to test the new kernel on my linux box to see if I could notice some speed improvement. So I downloaded the required software installed it and then downloaded and compiled the new kernel. When I tried to reboot I got the following message:
hda: IBM-DALA-3540, ATA DISK drive ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7, ox3f6 on irq 14 Partition check: hda: driver not present VFS: Cannot open root device 03:01 Kernel Panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 03:01
I suspect I made a mistake during the kernel config process and either selected an inappropriate driver for my root disk or selected the correct driver as a module and not statically linked into the kernel. Right now I'm at school and I won't be able to hack at this problem till I get home but I would like some opinions from others who have used this kernel before. Also, during the config there were some options with kernel 2.1.9 that I was not familiar with and I was wondering where I could get some documentation describing the new features.
I just recently subscribed to this list so please respond to my email address just in case the subscribe message to majordomo did not go through.
