1 Hi group,
2
3 The new kernel panics at a typical place:
4 <...>
5 VFS: unable to mount root fs on unknown-block (8,7)
6
7 then just below this appears:
8
9 <6> Time: tsc clocksource has been installed.
10 <crash>
11
12 The root fs is reiserfs and *is* part of the kernel.
13
14 Yes, CONFIG_UNIX=y
15
16 I thought it might be the SATA drive. The previous
17 kernel, 2.6.16, sets up SATA slightly different.
18
19 >From the new, 2.6.20 .config:
20
21 CONFIG_SCSI=y
22 CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SD=y
23 CONFIG_ATA=y
24 CONFIG_SATA_SIL=y
25
26 >From the previous, 2.6.16 two options no longer
27 present in the 2.6.20 kernel
28
29 CONFIG_SCSI_SATA=y
30 CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_SIL=y
31
32 So, is this a SATA/SCSI problem or something else?
