Yes, CONFIG_UNIX=y that is not the reiserfs option. I'm aware of that. But another PC with the 2.6.19 kernel and an IDE drive panicked until I set CONFIG_UNIX=y. Didn't help in this case. -mw __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

So CONFIG_UNIX has to be y. about your problem - do make menuconfig and recheck your driver and fs settings. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Nope, Unix sockets are usually not the commonly chosen way for kernel-userland communication. They're used for machine-local (w/ exception of clusters) inter-process communication. But I think that init would struggle w/o CONFIG_UNIX and, of course, udev. So Maxim might have hit problems there. But that's just nitpicking here ;-) @OP: You can scroll kernel boot output using Shift-PgUp/-PgDown. From what you can see there you should be able to tell whether your HD is recognized or not and what's its device name (which you must hand to the kernel via the root=... kernel command line parameter). -hwh -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] kernel 2.6.20-r6 panics with strange message FIXED
about your problem - do make menuconfig and recheck your driver and fs settings. It was a driver. In the 2.6.16 config under # #SCSI low-level drivers # I had this: CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_NV=y But for the 2.6.20 this option has been moved to # #Serial ATA (prod) and Parallel ATA (experimental) drivers # and shortened to CONFIG_SATA_NV. So I set it to 'y' and the PC booted no problem. FWIW, this particular panic resulted in a complete freeze up. Keyboard useless. No scrolling possible. But the Caps Lock and Scroll Lock LEDs blinked off and on at ~1 sec intervals. Which I hadn't noticed before. -mw __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

[gentoo-user] kernel 2.6.20-r6 panics with strange message
Hi group, The new kernel panics at a typical place: ... VFS: unable to mount root fs on unknown-block (8,7) then just below this appears: 6 Time: tsc clocksource has been installed. crash The root fs is reiserfs and *is* part of the kernel. Yes, CONFIG_UNIX=y I thought it might be the SATA drive. The previous kernel, 2.6.16, sets up SATA slightly different. From the new, 2.6.20 .config: CONFIG_SCSI=y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SD=y CONFIG_ATA=y CONFIG_SATA_SIL=y From the previous, 2.6.16 two options no longer present in the 2.6.20 kernel CONFIG_SCSI_SATA=y CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_SIL=y So, is this a SATA/SCSI problem or something else? -Maxim __ Do You Yahoo!?
