i compiled the gentoo gaming kernel instead and was able to boot.  what that 
was a few wasted days.

I received the following message while booting with a kernel that I 
compiled during the installation of Gentoo 2:

hub.c: USB hub found
hub.c: 3 ports detected
 Detected usb-ohci hardware
 Scanning for hid... usb.c: registered new driver hid
hid-core.c: v1.8.1 Andreas Gal, Vojtech Pavlik ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
hid-core.c: USB HID support drivers
 Detected hid hardware
Kernel panic: Attempted to kill init!
I compiled the 2.4.20 kernel that is retreived from gentoo-sources.  I used 
the genkernel command without the --config option.  I emerged the 
following: nvidia-kernel, nforce-net, nforce-audio because I have the 
following hardware:

Athlon XP 2200+, Gigabyte  GA-7NNXP (nforce2), 256 MB RAM, 40 GB IDE 
Harddrive (i think it is 7200rpm), NVidia GeForce 4400, Logitech USB Mouse, 
cdrom, two additional IDE hard drives.

I've looked around the web for some answers and most seem to focus on ACPI 
/ APIC and disabling it.  I don't mind disabling it as long as I don't see 
any performance degredation (which is kind of difficult to judge since my 
machine is not performing at all).  There seems to be three places to 
disable it:  the BIOS, the kernel and the boot command (pci=noacpi noapic) 
(could i place this in lilo.conf?).  What would be the best way to 
determine if this is the problem?  Which would be the best place to disable 
it at?  Would this solve my problems?

How come I can boot from the gentoo CD and not my genkernel (no --config) 
kernel (on my hd)?  They both have the 2.4.20 kernel...

The one problem I had was that the cd wouldn't boot untill I passed
the nonet option. At the live CD boot prompt, I typed "gentoo nonet"
and it booted just fine and picked up the onboard nic automagicly.
There is a kernel option for nforce DMA though I did not compile it
in. I don't think that my UDMA 133 80 Gig 8Mb buffer Maxtor is
suffering though.
sudo /sbin/hdparm -Tt /dev/hda

/dev/hda:
 Timing buffer-cache reads:   1352 MB in  2.00 seconds = 674.31 MB/sec
 Timing buffered disk reads:  172 MB in  3.02 seconds =  56.86 MB/sec
Hint for your install: Before rebooting, emerge the nforce-net package
or you won't have network drivers (module = nvnet) after rebooting,
and you'll have to boot back to the CD. There is a nvaudio ebuild too
that you'll probably want at some point

ernie,

did you have to make any bios / boot / kernel adjustments to get your system 
to work with the nforce2 chip set?

Just so folks don't think that Peter's problems are due to the Nforce
2 chipset., I'll report no such problems with my LeadtekK7NCR18D
(nforce2) mother board. DMA is working, USB and USB 2 work perfectly
my onboard nic is fine, and the onboard firewire seems to work too.
My last problem is getting lm-sensors working. I tend to stay FAR
away from VIA chipsets due to AGP problems I experienced with 2
different VIA based boards. Nothing against Peter's judgement, just
my personal experience

I finally gave up on the GA-7NNXP because I just couldn't get IDE 
working right in linux and this supposedly fast machine felt like a 
386.  I also got lots of these messages:

hda: dma_timer_expiry: dma status == 0x64

...and substantial disk corruption.  It performs great in Windows, but

The on-board USB and LAN didn't work either, nor did AGPGART.  I swapped 
the board for a GA-7VT600 1394.  That uses the VIA KT600 chipset and is 
much more compatible.

[gentoo-user] Kernel panic while booting a new Gentoo installation

2003-09-25 Thread a park
I received the following message while booting with a kernel that I compiled 
during the installation of Gentoo 2:

hub.c: USB hub found
hub.c: 3 ports detected
 Detected usb-ohci hardware
 Scanning for hid... usb.c: registered new driver hid
hid-core.c: v1.8.1 Andreas Gal, Vojtech Pavlik ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
hid-core.c: USB HID support drivers
 Detected hid hardware
Kernel panic: Attempted to kill init!
I compiled the 2.4.20 kernel that is retreived from gentoo-sources.  I used 
the genkernel command without the --config option.  I emerged the following: 
nvidia-kernel, nforce-net, nforce-audio because I have the following 
hardware:

Athlon XP 2200+, Gigabyte  GA-7NNXP (nforce2), 256 MB RAM, 40 GB IDE 
Harddrive (i think it is 7200rpm), NVidia GeForce 4400, Logitech USB Mouse, 
cdrom, two additional IDE hard drives.

I've looked around the web for some answers and most seem to focus on ACPI / 
APIC and disabling it.  I don't mind disabling it as long as I don't see any 
performance degredation (which is kind of difficult to judge since my

disable it:  the BIOS, the kernel and the boot command (pci=noacpi noapic) 
(could i place this in lilo.conf?).  What would be the best way to determine 
if this is the problem?  Which would be the best place to disable it at?  
Would this solve my problems?
