Re: [gentoo-user] Panic at boot time after update kernel to 2.6.20-r8.
Thank you both Neil Bothwick andAlan McKinnon for the great help. Got this one working now. Still many features arn't working yet such as alsa and wifi but I think I will make it now. The driver I needed seem to be AHCI SATA. Was rather difficult to identify that that is the right driver because lspci states: 00:1f.2 SATA controller: Intel Corporation 82801FBM (ICH6M) SATA Controller (rev 04) and you can't find 82801 in .config Also it seems to me that the driver should be statically loaded and not as a module (which now makes sense unless I could have changed things in modules.conf or similar). May I suggest/encourage people to write summaries (such as was a custom in sun managers mailing list (sun.unc.edu?) so other people can learn and save time?

Try to change it into the simpler root = /dev/sda1 or remove it altogether, since you already specified the root device in the global section. Also, you seem to have a SCSI or SATA drive (the output of lspci would help here). All SCSI low-level drivers are disabled in your config, so I guess you have a SATA drive. But, you have also disabled all the SATA drivers (it's the "Serial ATA (prod) and Parallel ATA (experimental) drivers" section). This could happen if you did "make oldconfig" using a pre-2.6.19 config file, because SATA drivers moved under CONFIG_ATA starting from 2.6.19. If so, do a "make menuconfig" and double check that all the drivers you need are compiled into your kernel. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

The SATA config options moved between 2.6.18 and 2.6.19 so your SATA chipset driver is no longer compiled in to the kernel. Do a make menuconfig, hit / and search for your SATA driver and enable it. -- Neil Bothwick If a parsley farmer is sued, can they garnish his wages? signature.asc Description: PGP signature
Re: [gentoo-user] Panic at boot time after update kernel to 2.6.20-r8.
Sorry for not providing details (was sure people will identify the problem in a glance). Upgrade is from 2.6.17-r8 Attached the panic message: VFS: cannot open root device sda1 or unknown block (0,0) please append a correct "root=" boot option. Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: unable to mount root fs on unknown - block (0,0) Attached the .config file (after converted to 2.6.20-r8 - make oldconfig - just hit the enter key) lilo is double checked.

New releases of KDE often are so buggy that you 1) *have* to upgrade whatever is available to get the bugfixes and 2) can't really be certain that any breakage is related to library updates (or worse yet, only *partial* library updates, not all relevant libraries, because all relevant libraries don't necessarily have updates available at the same time), rather than just one of the bugs.

In my opinion, it's impossible to avoid stuff breaking (on a Gentoo/source-based distro) box; libraries and applications depending on those libraries are *going* to be mis-matched at some point or another, sometimes quite often. It's usually temporary, and usually easy to fix: recompile the app against the updated library, as I did yesterday for Beagle, or run .updater-- I just found there's an ocaml-updater script; who knew? or run the config utility for gcc, or java or whatever is the problem today.

Whoa. Now I know why my mplayer cannot read mpgs anymore. Thank you guys. Anyway, I recompiled it a couple of days ago with a bunch of new use flags, so I hope it will be fixed now. But it was the only problem I ever had with emerge -Du world. If I can have a new lib that will fix bugs or improve something, I want it. I won't bother recompiling some app that will complain, if needed. But of course I'm talking of my desktop system, I think I would have a very different approach for a production system.

This reasoning is pretty much void when dealing with libraries, since there's often more than one application depending on a particular library. Example: App A and app B link agains library L. Run an 'emerge -u A' and app A, and library L gets upgraded. App B is fucked in the same way as you having run an 'emerge -deep world', since B is not recompiled but its dependency is. -- Regards, Patrick Börjesson PGP signature: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x21792A5D PGP fingerprint: 74AF D4EF 6BDE CF77 16BE 6A29 CDB8 7607 2179 2A5D pgpZSofbEwFbv.pgp Description: PGP signature

Allan ,don't get me wrong - I"m not trying to "pin" you, I just want to point out that computers and software tend to fail, so whenever you're updating/upgrading one or the other you *have to* have backup plan. In most scenarios having production machine means that you *have to* have development machine working in parallel (ideally identical to production machine in all respects) - any changes to production machine should be tried/tested on development machine first. Being sysadmin for about 7 years now I know that things do happen and you have to be ready/prepeared for everything. Another point is to go with the "lowest resistance" path - update only GLSA's and do full-blown upgrades only when you plan them carefully and test'em out on development box. -- Dmitry Makovey Web Systems Administrator Athabasca University http://www.athabascau.ca http://www.makovey.net pgpCIK2Ya9w4X.pgp Description: PGP signature

sorry by the way I put it Jeff I got to angry when All my services stop working after an ( what should be simple ) update . this update had stop all services I got on this box, that was an web server for nagios and mantis, and dns server for private net the database to nagios and mantis... the first thing was the udev that stop working and I could not boot my machine, it got a sgmentation fault at boot... got my gentoo install disk and downgrade udev it got back to work. then after some fight and gentoo doc I got mysql back. after that was apache time, all configuration has changed and I got to go as crasy to find where it was... if isn´t that enough the named service was running and not responding this was really a tought upgrade ( snip ) sorry again to pass information incomplete to the list and overreact but I was trully in panic after 2 hours trying to got the system back.

sorry for the lack of details, I got stunned by the upgrade I had done it a lot before and never got such impact one of my biggest problem now is the bind. it runs but isn´t enabled to anyone ...

Re: [gentoo-user] PANIC !!!!
Boot off of LiveCD, chroot, start repairing... When I've hosed my system, I go back to the Gentoo Handbook: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml to get into the chroot. Then look in the logs (/var/log/*) for hints... Always a good idea to dispatch-conf, revdep-rebuild, revdep-rebuild. So far I haven't hosed it bad enough to need a reinstall...
