Hi
Up to 2.4.19-rc1 my system worked fine but 2.4.19 and 2.4.20-pre1 produce
the following message at startup:
Mounting root filesystem
ide-floppy driver 0.99.newide
kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k ide-cd, errno = 2
hda: driver not present
mount: error 6 mounting ext3
pivotroot: pivot_root(/sysroot,/sysroot/initrd) failed: 2
Freeing unused kernel memory: 108k freed
Kernel panic: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel.
I have no idea what causes the problem since I did not change the kernel
configuration.
The system configuration is as follows:
Athlon XP 1600+
Asus A7V266-E (VIA KT266A)
512MB RAM
hda, hdc are IDE Harddisks
Any suggestions welcome.

Both options below are set to "yes" in the kernel configuration:
Enhanced IDE/MFM/RLL disk/cdrom/tape/floppy support
Include IDE/ATA-2 DISK support

what type of IDE controller is in this machine?
Is there any other error message above the startup message you quoted?

You only think this is a free country. Like the US the UK spends a lot of
time explaining its a free country because its a police state.

If you have multiple controllers one possible source is that the
controllers are being identified in the wrong order. This is an
enhancement in 2.4.19.

The machine has 2 IDE controllers, the standard onboard controller of the
VIA chipset and an onboard Promise IDE Chip which can be switched to RAID0/1
mode. I use the Promise controller in standard IDE mode.
A DVD-ROM and a CD-Writer are connected to the Promise chip as hde and hdg.

No, there are no other error messages prior to the extracted one.
Best regards, Peter.
