Hello,
Is there any reason why, after panic, 2.4.x kernels no longer response for keyboard command like Shift-PgUp, Shift-PgDn or Ctrl+Alt+Del?
It is not possible to check why kernel is not able to find init or mount root partition. Console scrolling with Shift-PgUp is disabled! For example, it is very easy to forget to enable "Boot off-board chipsets first support" for IDE.
Of course, one can say: "Use Serial Console!". Yes, this is true, but I need null-modem, another computer and time for making new kernel. Whit Shift-PgUp 5 seconds is too much and no other hardware is required :))
And there is one more problem. When kernel is enabled to automatically start Software RAID there is no way to stop this RAID. Like I said - Ctrl+Alt+Del no longer works, so next time all RAID arrays need to be synced. Ahhh!
So, is it possible to bring back Linux 2.2.x behavior? Please?
Best regards,
Krzysztof Oledzki
