I just compiled and installed the 2.6.5 kernel from kernel.org. Now at boot, I get a kernel panic: ... ACPI: (supports S0 S1 S4 S5) UDF-fs: no partition found (1) Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on hda1 My IDE disk (/dev/hda) has 3 partitions, all of which are ext3, and I do have ext2 and ext3 enabled in the kernel. Here's all the IDE stuff that I've enabled in the kernel config; anything missing?: CONFIG_IDE=y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE=y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDISK=y CONFIG_IDEDISK_MULTI_MODE=y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDECD=y CONFIG_IDE_TASKFILE_IO=y CONFIG_IDE_GENERIC=y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEPCI=y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDMA_PCI=y CONFIG_IDEDMA_PCI_AUTO=y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDMA=y CONFIG_IDEDMA_AUTO=y Here's my lilo.conf: boot = /dev/hda vga = 0xf01 image=/boot/bzImage.20031026 label=2.4.22 root=/dev/hda1 read-only ramdisk=30000 image=/boot/bzImage.2.6.5 label=2.6.5 root=/dev/hda1 read-only ramdisk=30000 The 2.4.22 kernel works fine; the 2.6.5 kernel panics at boot. I did some searching and found 3 solutions, but none of them worked for me: - enabled "PC BIOS" support in Partition Types -> Advanced - added "acpi=no pci=noacpi" on the boot line - enabled Pseudo filesystems -> /dev file system support (OBSOLETE) Any ideas?
