I've just used genkernel to build a kernel from |
| 2 |
gentoo-sources-2.6.18-gentoo-r1. The build ended with: |

|

Checking /var/log/genkernel.log doesn't seem to provide any more info |
| 34 |
about what went wrong. In /boot are new kernel, initramfs, and |
| 35 |
System.map files, so the build succeeded at least to that extent. When |
| 36 |
I boot the new kernel, I _do_ get a kernel panic - preceded by the |
| 37 |
following lines: |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
Mounting /proc filesystem |
| 40 |
Creating block devices |
| 41 |
failed to create /dev/hda |
| 42 |

| 43 |

| 44 |

| 45 |

| 48 |
Mount: error 2 mounting ext2 |
| 49 |
pivotroot: pivot_root(/sysroot,/sysroot/initrd) failed: 2 |
| 50 |
umount /initrd/proc failed: 2 |
| 51 |
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
FWIW, /proc file system support (PROC_FS) _is_ included |
| 54 |
in .config. |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
Any thoughts on what I should look for to solve this problem? |
| 57 |

| 58 |
Thanks. |
