As the kernel from the boot cd is working you could try to use exactly the same kernel configuration for your system (at least for a start). As far as I remember this configuration is stored in /proc. Just look at the message on the screen after the system finished the boot process. It tell's you where you'll find the config file.

Have you tried a kernel without PIIX support? BTW your gcc options get ignored when building the kernel. Regards, Jason -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Everything unnessessary like ACPI or APM etc. has been removed from the kernel. But no success yet :-( Any other ideas? Regards, Frank. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

[gentoo-user] Kernel panic with detection of IRQ-Router
Hello. For a friend of mine I ask you for help on a Gentoo-install on an old computer. I already tried in alt.os.linux.gentoo, but the answer(s) didn't help. The problem is this: Hardware: Pentium 120 with Intel FX chipset Distribution: Gentoo 1.4 The Gentoo-boot-CD boots successful. When checking for PCI-bus the correct chipset is detected and the PIIX-driver is loaded. But when building the kernel (PIIX-chipset-driver compiled into kernel) the (very same) chipset-detection ends in a kernel panic! My friend tried following options for "PCI Access Mode": "BIOS" and "ANY" - but neither works. Instead the error message is: PCI : PCI BIOS revision 2.10entry at 0xf03b0, last bus 0 PCI: Probing PCI hardware PCI: Probing PCI hardware (bus00) Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual adress printing eip: : : <0>Kernel panic: Attempted to kill init! Even the option "Direct" fails, but produces a different error message: PCI : PCI BIOS revision 2.10entry at 0xf03b0, last bus 0 PCI: Probing PCI hardware PCI: Probing PCI hardware (bus00) general protection fault ac00 CPU: 0: : <0>Kernel panic: Attempted to kill init! The used kernel sources are "gentoo-sources 2.4.20-r6" and "vanilla-sources 2.4.22". Further parameter that might be of interest: Processor-Type: Pentium-Classic (kernel appropriately configured) gcc options: -O3 -march=pentium Has anyone any idea on that problem. Particularly since the install-CD-kernel works fine at that point. Messages then: PCI : PCI BIOS revision 2.10entry at 0xf03b0, last bus 0 PCI : Using configuration type 1 PCI : probing PCI hardware PCI: ACPI tables contain no PCI IRQ routing entries PCI : probing hardware (bus00) PCI : Using IRQ router PIIX [8086/122e] at 00:07.0 THX4help, Frank. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
