hi, I'm trying to install a linux kernel on a 686 on a PC 104 board (it is intended to fly on a UAV). it has a 33MB Flash Disk (which is the only hard disk on the computer). i compile the kernel on a host machine (which has red hat 7.3 , with rt linux on top of it), and then make a bzdisk. so far so good. when i try to boot the pc104 machine with the floppy though, it comes up with the following error:
hda3: bad access: block=2, count=2 end_request: I/O error, dev 03:03 (hda), sector 2 EXT3-fs: unable to read superblock hda3: bad access: block=2, count=2 end_request: I/O error, dev 03:03 (hda), sector 2 EXT3-fs: unable to read superblock hda3: bad access: block=64, count=2 end_request: I/O error, dev 03:03 (hda), sector 64 EXT3-fs: unable to read superblock isofs_read_super: bread failed, dev=03:03, iso_blknum=16, block=32 Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 03:03 I tried looking up this error on mailing list archives, and it seems a possible solution is to try passing "ide=reverse" as a kernel option. i'm not sure when to do that though, because the pc104 is booting directly from the bzdisk, and does not give me a chance to enter any command line options. i'm a newbie when it comes to compiling kernels, so any help would be appreciated! thanks, sonal - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
