 Posted: Fri Oct 25, 2013 9:30 am Post subject: [Solved] Kernel panic and downgrading |
 |
|
Hi
I had a graphics issue which I ried to find a solution in this thread:
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-973636-highlight-.html
I wanted to go back as less as possible so I unmerged xorg-server and xorg-drivers and did an emerge of them again but still didn't get graphics working. As a one more level of going back I wanted to downgrade the kernel from 3.10.7-gentoo-r1 to 3.10.7-gentoo.
I didn't attempt to adjust the settings of 3.10.7-gentoo-r1 to 3.10.7-gentoo because I thought a fresh beginning would be better. However I got stuck with the hdd part and I get a kernel panic now.
What should I "grep" from kernel config to compare the parameters related to hdd's.
Since the parameters and the names in the make menu windows are different is there a way to jump to menu from the parameter that I find with the "/" command in the make menuconfig window?
Is there a way to open a previous and now unused kernel's config in a make menuconfig window?
My kernel parameters and lspci -k that I took in a systemrescuecd are as follows.
Note: I will be able to apply the suggestions for about 8 hours from the time that I send this post.
Thanks:
The kernel that I'm downgrading from is: 3.10.7-gentoo-r1
http://bpaste.net/show/143695/
The kernel that I'm downgrading to is: 3.10.7-gentoo
http://bpaste.net/show/143697/
The lspci -k taken in the systemrescucd is:

I need to explaiın why I put in my previous post.
I didn' mean to be rude by saying
Genkernel is automated and I don't want automation. I want to learn and touch the system deeper.
Thank you for your effort eyoung100. |

mount_block_root is in your stack trace, you can read through http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Knowledge_Base:Unable_to_mount_root_fs to fix that.
Besides that, I doubt if going back a revision will show a difference; it patches just a few lines, if it however does, please do file a bug pointing out the rev bump is broken. |

Going the manual route is fine too. 
As a hunch, check Device Drivers -->
Make sure ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL support is blank and that Serial ATA and Parallel ATA Drivers is starred with the driver for your motherboard.

| Code: | | CONFIG_SATA_VIA is not set |
should be:
| Code: | cd /usr/src/linux
make menuconfig
Device Drivers -->
<>ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL support (Deprecated)
<*>Serial ATA and Parallel ATA Drivers -->
<*>VIA SATA Support |

I tried this
| Code: | Device Drivers --->
<*> ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL support --->
<*> generic ATA/ATAPI disk support
<*> Include IDE/ATAPI CDROM support
[*] Probe IDE PCI devices in the PCI bus order
<*> VIA82CXXX chipset support |
together with
| Code: | | < > Serial ATA (prod) and Parallel ATA (experimental) drivers ---> |
It didn't work and I undid the above and did the below
| Code: | Device Drivers --->
< > ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL support --->
-*- SCSI device support
[*] legacy /proc/scsi/ support
<*> SCSI disk support
<*> SCSI CDROM support
<*> SCSI generic support
<*> Serial ATA (prod) and Parallel ATA (experimental) drivers --->
[*] Verbose ATA error reporting (NEW)
[*] ATA ACPI Support (NEW)
[*] SATA Port Multiplier support (NEW)
[*] ATA SFF support (NEW)
<*> VIA PATA support (NEW) |

Found the dirty bit:
The SCSI section was
| Code: | SCSI device support --->
<*> SCSI device support
<> SCSI disk support |
Now it's
| Code: | SCSI device support --->
<*> SCSI device support
<*> SCSI disk support |
and kernel panic vanishes. Unfourtunately the graphics issue goes on:
