Hi,
today I tried to update my kernel from 2.6.20.3 to 2.6.23.12. I used my old config file, but got following error: Kernel panic - not synching: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown block (8,1)
Did you do an $ make oldconfig step ? If you didn't (in between releases), you've found your error. Go back and try again, then.
Lilo.conf is the same as everytime.
Well, post it.
Did the kernel guys change something or where is the error?
Of course, they do... for every single release they change thousands of lines of code! Well, if above didn't help, post your old as well as your then new .config file and the full $ dmesg output and a $ lspci -v and a $ cat /proc/cpuinfo so we can at least check what kind of hardware you are running, what you included and what you missed... Also, disable all unneeded modules to avoid conflicting drivers. You can also try to boot the latest CRUX-2.4 included kernel and - if it boots - use that kernel and configuration as a start for your new system. If the CRUX-2.4 included kernel doesn't boot on your machine, then you are riding a really strange horse. Let's know more about it, then. I, personally, prefer to include only the stuff I need/want on each system - no modules, no bells 'n' whistles, small and easy to upgrade (less moving CONFIG_* stuff). And just to make it clear: The kernel and it's configuration is _not_ a custom part of CRUX so you don't necessarily get best support here. I suggest you to also ask Google for more hints and kernel configuration HOWTOs. Regards, -- Clemens Koller ________________________________ Anagramm GmbH
