Hi all, Firstly, please CC me in replies as I am not subscribed to the list.
I'm trying to build kernel 3.5.4 and 3.6.2 to work with EL5. Each time I try to boot this kernel, I get a panic stating it can't find /
The same kernel config works correctly in EL6 (without the CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED and CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2 options set)
The documentation I have found states that for compatibility with EL5, I should enable the CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED and CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2 options in General Setup.
I have done this as shown: # grep SYSFS /boot/config-3.5.4-4.el5xen.x86_64 CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED=y CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2=y CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT_SYSFS=y CONFIG_ISCSI_BOOT_SYSFS=m # CONFIG_GPIO_SYSFS is not set CONFIG_VIDEO_PVRUSB2_SYSFS=y CONFIG_RTC_INTF_SYSFS=y # CONFIG_DMI_SYSFS is not set CONFIG_SYSFS=y The system however does not boot. I have also tried passing "sysfs.deprecated=1" on the kernel line in grub with no success.I cannot seem to find anything further that could cause this issue other than a fault in these kernel options.
I have added a few attachments (kernel config, screenshot of panic) which I won't attach to the list:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=48991
Can anyone much wiser than me assist here? How can I help debug this
further?
