Hi list.
I have big trouble upgrading my Debian server from Kernel 2.4.27 to
2.6.8, maybe cause of RAID System. My root filesystem is mounted over
RAID-1. I succeed in compiling new kernel 2.6.8 with RAID Support,
SerialATA, EXT2, EXt3, RaidAutoDetect and similar stuff built-in, as
needed in Kernel 2.4.27 to work properly as it does. But when trying
to boot the new kernel i get a "Kernel Panic: VFS: Unable to mount
root FS on unknown-block (9,1)". My fstab:
/dev/md1 / ext3 errors=remount-ro 0 1
/dev/hda2 none swap sw 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hda1 /boot ext2 defaults 0 2
where /dev/md1 is a fine working RAID-1 with partitions /dev/hda3 &
/dev/hdb3 (Linux Raid Autodetext) on my 2.4.27 system. Lilo.conf:
lba32
boot=/dev/hda
install=/boot/boot-menu.b
map=/boot/map
delay=20
vga=normal
timeout=50
prompt
default=Linux-2.4.27-2
image=/vmlinuz
label=Linux-2.4.27-2
root=/dev/md1
read-only
append="hdg=none"
image=/vmlinuz.new
label=Linux-2.6.8
root=/dev/md1
read-only
append="hdg=none"
optional
I cannot see the big difference between 2.4.X & 2.6.X configs (i made
a "make oldconfig", and i have gone through both files again and
again). I would appreciate any help.
Thanks,
Aitor.
