Hi
I successfully patched and compiled 2.4.18-ac1, no problems.
But when I try to boot the system, the kernel is unable to mount the
root filesystem (/dev/hdf2):
request_module[block-major-33]: Root fs not mounted
VFS: Cannot open root devices "hdf2" or 21:42
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 21:42
The bootloader-options are correct, a 2.4.18 kernel with exactly the
same config-options has no problems with mounting the root fs.
hdf is secondary master, connected to a Promise UDMA 100 controller on
an ASUS A7V.
The boot-option in grub.conf looks like
title Linux-ac(2.4.18-ac1)
root (hd1,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.18-ac1 ro root=/dev/hdf2 hdc=ide-scsi
title Linux (2.4.18)
root (hd1,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.18 ro root=/dev/hdf2 hdc=ide-scsi
but only 2.4.18 works.
Is this a bug or did I miss anything?

Microsoft is a cross between The Borg and the Ferengi.
Unfortunately they use Borg to do their marketing and Ferengi to do
their programming.

What was the last version of -ac that worked for you?

I didn't use any ac-Patches of the 2.4.18-pre series, sorry. But I can
try some of the pre-ac-patches if that helps you.
The latest ac I run on my machine was a 2.4.9-ac (don't remember which
one exactly).
The precompiled RH-errata kernel also runs without problems (2.4.9-21).

Did you run 'make oldconfig' after using your old .config file?
Post your .config. That is probably the problem.

Here you go. Promise IDE is not compiled into the kernel.

But why does the 2.4.18 work then?
I also didn't compile it with # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_PDC202XX

Can someone explain me why 2.4.18 runs fine with
# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_PDC202XX is not set
but ac1 (and 2) require
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_PDC202XX=y
It's correct that 2.4.18-ac? requires the driver (my hd's are connected
to an promise-UDMA-controller), but why runs 2.4.18 fine without this
driver?

It is better to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool, than to
open it and remove all doubt.

-ac does have Andre's new IDE drivers that are waiting for inclusion...
