Hi to all, this is my first post on LKML.
I'm trying 2.6.0-test2-mm2 and the compiling process ends with no errors
except for some warnings about oss modules.
After reboot with the 2.6 I obtain a kernel panic error:
**************************************
VFS: Cannot open root device "304" or hda4
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
VFS: Unable to mount root fs on hda4;
**************************************
I've read old ML posts but the don't help me.
According to 2.4.21, the root fs is /dev/hda4: I've tried to give "root=0304"
or "root=/dev/hda4" at the 2.6, but I obtain the same errors.
I've even tried initrd with no changes.
I've introduced some printk in init/do_mount.c (see the linked file at line
64) and before the kernel panic, the result was :
***************************************
name hda4 - /sys/block/hda4/dev
descriptor -1
name hda - /sys/block/hda/dev
descriptor 0
scanning '3:0'
***************************************
Is it normal?
Thanks a lot.
Mario

Hi C?dric,
[cut]
>Did you enable correct Partition Type Support ?
I think the config file is OK because I've only set the partition types I
need and I always used (My root fs is ext3):
CONFIG_EXT2_FS=y
CONFIG_EXT2_FS_XATTR=y
# CONFIG_EXT2_FS_POSIX_ACL is not set
# CONFIG_EXT2_FS_SECURITY is not set
CONFIG_EXT3_FS=y <-------
CONFIG_EXT3_FS_XATTR=y <-------
CONFIG_EXT3_FS_POSIX_ACL=y <-------
# CONFIG_EXT3_FS_SECURITY is not set
CONFIG_JBD=y <-------
CONFIG_JBD_DEBUG=y <------
CONFIG_FS_MBCACHE=y
CONFIG_REISERFS_FS=y
# CONFIG_REISERFS_CHECK is not set
# CONFIG_REISERFS_PROC_INFO is not set
# CONFIG_JFS_FS is not set
CONFIG_FS_POSIX_ACL=y
# CONFIG_XFS_FS is not set
# CONFIG_MINIX_FS is not set
# CONFIG_ROMFS_FS is not set
CONFIG_QUOTA=y
# CONFIG_QFMT_V1 is not set
# CONFIG_QFMT_V2 is not set
CONFIG_QUOTACTL=y
# CONFIG_AUTOFS_FS is not set
CONFIG_AUTOFS4_FS=y
I've even tried using initrd, but when 2.6 start, I see that it can't load
any initrd image: unfortunatly I've create it with 'mkinitrd -o
/boot/initrd-2.6-t2 /lib/modules/linux-2.6-test2'...

Hi Burton,

>system type?
Mmm..
My hardware config consists in an Acer 272Xv with sis chipset 650 (I read it
in 2.4.21 and previous dmesg).
I think that config file is OK because when 2.6 starts, I can see something
about "SIS961 chipset MUTIOL", and in the .config file I've set
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SIS5513=y that I always used for previous kernels.
