Hello everybody, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I note NV_SATA, SIL_SATA, CONFIG_FORCEDETH and |
| 4 |
whatever other options are no longer offered in make |
| 5 |
menuconfig for the stage3 tarballed kernel 2.6.12-r6 |
| 6 |
or for the latest 2.6.14-r2. These are precisely the |
| 7 |
options my board, Asus K8NE w/nVidia and Sil3114, |
| 8 |
requires for SATA drives and the onboard ethernet. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
When the PC boots, and it _does_ boot off /dev/sda2, |
| 11 |
it can't detect /dev/sda6 where / lives and crashes |
| 12 |
just at the point of detecting it: |
| 13 |
... |
| 14 |
VFS: Cannot open root device "sda6" or |
| 15 |
unknown-block(0,0) |
| 16 |
Please append a correct "root=" boot option |
| 17 |
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root |
| 18 |
fs on unknown-block(0,0) |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
Ah, but those very drivers are in the kernel used by |
| 21 |
the LiveCD to boot. Plus, they're part of the config |
| 22 |
file it uses. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
What gives? I note the config options include |
| 25 |
CONFIG_SCSI_SATA under low-level SCSI drivers; is that |
| 26 |
all that's required. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Also a very curious file in /usr/portage/distfiles: |
| 29 |
NVIDIA-Linux-x86-10=6626-pkg1.run. Anybody know what |
| 30 |
this is for? No ebuilds correspond to it as far as I |
| 31 |
can tell although it must be part of some package or |
| 32 |
other. |
