Did you configure properly your /etc/fstab file?
Well, /etc/fstab has not yet available when the panic happens since it's on the very filesystem the kernel tries to mount and fails at it.
Boovarahan: typically, this error occurs if one of the the following isn't true: - you compiled support for your SATA, IDE or SCSI controller into the kernel (not as module) - you compiled support for the filesystem of the root partition into the kernel (not as module) - the root= option in lilo.conf is correct
Please verify these, along with the lilo settings as mentioned in Dannys mail.
HTH, Johannes
1. lilo.conf file is as follows:
# /etc/lilo.conf: lilo(8) configuration, see lilo.conf(5) #
lba32 install=text boot=/dev/sda6
Did you not read my post about the boot= line? that line above is incorrect it should not say what partition it's on. boot=/dev/sda is what it should read.
image=/boot/vmlinuz label=CRUX root=/dev/sda6 read-only append="quiet"
# End of file
Here is my working lilo.conf # # /etc/lilo.conf: lilo(8) configuration, see lilo.conf(5) # lba32 install=text boot=/dev/sda append="quiet init=/sbin/runit-init" timeout=40 prompt default=CRUX-2.6.24.7 image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24.7 label=CRUX-2.6.24.7 root=/dev/sda2 read-only image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.17.14 label=CRUX-2.6.17.14 root=/dev/sda2 read-only # End of file
2.fstab file is this:
/dev/sda6 / ext3 defaults,noatime 0 1
I prefer to use defaults,noatime,nodiratime,data=journal
/dev/sda1 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/cdrom /cdrom iso9660 ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts defaults 0 0 none /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 #tmp /tmp tmpfs defaults 0 0 #shm /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 usb /proc/bus/usb usbfs defaults 0 0
# End of file
3. The SATA / ext3 fs support were not compiled as modules. 4. I have used sda6 only and no other separate partitons are used.
Let me once again chroot and do the compiling. Thanks.
