Hi I successfully patched and compiled 2.4.18-ac1, no problems. But when I try to boot the system, the kernel is unable to mount the root filesystem (/dev/hdf2):
request_module[block-major-33]: Root fs not mounted VFS: Cannot open root devices "hdf2" or 21:42 Please append a correct "root=" boot option Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 21:42
The bootloader-options are correct, a 2.4.18 kernel with exactly the same config-options has no problems with mounting the root fs. hdf is secondary master, connected to a Promise UDMA 100 controller on an ASUS A7V.
The boot-option in grub.conf looks like
title Linux-ac(2.4.18-ac1) root (hd1,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.18-ac1 ro root=/dev/hdf2 hdc=ide-scsi title Linux (2.4.18) root (hd1,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.18 ro root=/dev/hdf2 hdc=ide-scsi
but only 2.4.18 works. Is this a bug or did I miss anything? -- Fridtjof Busse Microsoft is a cross between The Borg and the Ferengi.
