Guest GentooBox Posted June 27, 2004 Report Share Posted June 27, 2004 Hi there. I have just installed Mandrake 10.0 official with kernel 2.6.3-7 and it works fine. but when i update the kernel to 2.6.3-14 or 2.6.7 then it crashes at bootup with something like this: Super_fill_reiserfs-somethingCould not find reiserfs on hda1 I compiled my own kernel from kernel.org (2.6.7) but it crashes with the same error. EDIT: found the same error here: http://www.mandrakeusers.org/index.php?sho...l=reiserfs&st=0 Mounting sysfsCreating root device Mounting root filesystem mount: error 6 mounting ext3 flags defaults well, retrying without the option flags mount: error 6 mounting ext3 well, retrying read-only without any flag mount: error 6 mounting ext3 pivotroot: pivot_root(/sysroot,/sysroot/initrd) failed: 2 Remounting devfs at correct place if necessary Mounted devfs on /dev Freeing unused kernel memory: 272k freed Kernel panic: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel. [moved from Installing Mandrake by spinynorman] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest GentooBox Posted June 27, 2004 Report Share Posted June 27, 2004 Maby it could be because the new kernels assign the drives wrong ? hda becomes hdb ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted June 27, 2004 Report Share Posted June 27, 2004 Welcome to the board! Are you using rpm's I guess? Do you have a /boot partition? or is your '/boot' in /? Are your hd's switched in the bios? e.g. master/slave? .....just shooting in the dark here :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdg Posted June 27, 2004 Report Share Posted June 27, 2004 Maybe you compiled your / filesystem as a module in the kernel. eg if you're using reiserfs for your / partition, it must be compiled into the kernel, not as a module Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest GentooBox Posted June 27, 2004 Report Share Posted June 27, 2004 Maybe you compiled your / filesystem as a module in the kernel. eg if you're using reiserfs for your / partition, it must be compiled into the kernel, not as a module i use reiserfs, and its compiled as a module. It works now. The new kernel assigns my hd as sda instead if hda. - i just edited lilo.conf, and then it worked again. i tryed to make my own kernel, but when i did a "make install" in my kernel tree, then it failed and said that some options had to be compiled as modules.

SoulSe Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 sda is usually for USB device filesystems. Pesky conf files - you need to be dead sober when setting 'em up :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gowator Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 Im, guessi9ng your lilo.conf had an append=hda,ide_scsi or something ? on ypoutr kernel compile is that a 'clean' kernel.org or a mandrake kernel. Mandrake kernels are usually heaviliy patched only sometimes they forget to say how :D I havent tried booting from reiserfs but it will need compiling as part of the kernel, not a module to boot.
