After compiling kernel-2.4.22 from Sid, I was also suprised by this panic, because kernel was compiled almost with the same config as 2.4.20. You have several options here: 1st: you may compile ide-module in kernel 2nd: As I am trying to keep everything in modules, you also may compile that option as module, but then you need to add "ide-detect" line to /etc/mkinitrd/modules and re-run mkinitrd command to recreate /boot/initrd.img-2.4.22 or reinstall kernel. PS: why it doesn't load it automagically? kernel 2.4.20 did it, without need to explicitly insmod it. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
