Hi everybody, I recently finished building LFS 6.5 on my machine. When booting I got a kernel panic:
VFS: Cannot open root device "hda1" or unknown block(0,0) Please append a correct "root=" boot option; here are the available partitions: Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-bock(0,0) [...] I also noticed that the kernel doesn't report finding the harddisks and the partitions. It used to (i.e. a 2.6.27.4 kernel) report each hd it found as hda: DRIVENAME, ATA DISK drive hda: hda1 etc. but the 2.6.30.2 kernel doesn't do that. So I guess there's a problem with the ide-driver. I built the 2.6.30.2 kernel based on a config for the old 2.6.27.4 kernel I was using for LFS 6.4. Booting that old kernel with the new LFS 6.5 partition works just fine. I searched the net, but only found various GRUB problems or missing support for the filesystem, which isn't the problem here - I double checked. The kernel has generic ATA/ATAPI disk support ATA disk support legacy /proc/ide support Generic PCI IDE chipset support compiled into it. Thanks in advance for any ideas what could cause this problem.
