run "make menuconfig" in your new kernel dir. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
check to ensure ext3 is compiled in. (not sure why it wouldn't be) |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
check to make sure you've got udev or devfs installed properly in both |
| 12 |
kernels (maybe one isn't defined in the kernel, and the old kernel had |
| 13 |
it). I'd really try to ensure you're running udev and not devfs, but |
| 14 |
first things first. |

IF SATA: |
| 17 |
Make sure the proper SATA options are the same for each kernel. There's |
| 18 |
one SATA option that isn't compatible with another SATA option. (it |
| 19 |
could be fixed in newer kernels by now) |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
IF SCSI: |
| 22 |
Make sure all your SCSI options are the same for each kernel. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
also you can compare the two configs of each kernel. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Compare Option #1: |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
# diff -u kernel-old/.config kernel-new/.config |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
Compare Option #2: |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
# vimdiff kernel-old/.config kernel-new/.config |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
You can also pipe #1 through less (or more). |
