Subject: [gentoo-user] kernel 2.6.20-r6 panics with strange message
Date: Sun, 29 Apr 2007 20:53:11 -0700 (PDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <419860.90186.qm@web31707.mail.mud.yahoo.com> (raw)

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
