Why? Is it because it couldn't find your root device? Did it detect |
| 6 |
your hard drives correctly on boot? Or was it because it found your |
| 7 |
root, but failed to mount it? Or is it something completely unrelated |
| 8 |
to mounting root? |

The specific panic message is significant here if you expect us to help you. |

No, you posted the *one line* from your dmesg that indicated that you |
| 16 |
were booting from the wrong kernel. That was even before you made the |
| 17 |
claim that you were running the old kernel, but somehow booting from |
| 18 |
the new kernel, which was the message that I was replying to. The |
| 19 |
dmesg output would have confirmed or contradicted that claim, and the |
| 20 |
single line you posted earlier had nothing to do with verifying the |
| 21 |
kernel version you booted from. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
FYI, one of the first things the kernel does when it boots is to log |
| 24 |
essentially the same information as uname produces. It does this |
| 25 |
before initializing devices, mounting filesystems, or much of anything |
| 26 |
else. It also shows up in /var/log/messages to, and looks something |
| 27 |
like this: |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
Linux version 2.6.16-suspend2-r5 (root@carcharias) (gcc version 3.4.6 |
| 30 |
(Gentoo 3.4.6-r1, ssp-3.4.5-1.0, pie-8.7.9)) #25 SMP Sun May 14 |

The above tells you a lot...that I compiled my kernel at 03:19 on May |
| 34 |
14th. It also tells you that was the 25th time I compiled this kernel |
| 35 |
version. I was obviously up late trying a few things! :-) |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
So if you do a "dmesg | grep 'Linux version' ; uname -a", and they |
| 38 |
somehow report different things, then what you claimed could be true. |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
Now to be fair I did not actually ask you to post your dmesg output. |
| 41 |
I asked how you checked that you were booting the new kernel, and |
| 42 |
suggested that checking dmesg output would be the best. Of course, if |
| 43 |
you did not know what to look for there, posting the output would have |
| 44 |
been fine. |
