I spent 2days on building the kernel (2.4.30 sparc64) on my workstation. Sun Ultra10. I got no luck.
My kernel won't boot.
Is there any successful .config for me to referece?

Thanks,
Miller

Thanks, for the quick reply. A moment ago, my box booted. I will try to get the error reported.
but still has problem:
My box failed at:
checking all filesystems....
/dev/hda1 is mounted. e2fsck: can't continue, aborting
* Fsck could not correct all errors, manul repair needed.

Give root passwd for maintence(or type.......)

Then, I manually, e2fsck /dev/hda1. But it doesn't work when I reboot again.
My /etc/fstab is the same as the handbook.

/dev/hda1 is ext2,
/dev/hda2 is swap
/dev/hda3 is Sun DIsklable the whold disk
/dev/hda4 is ext3 for /usr
/dev/hda5 is ext3 for /var
/dev/hda6 is ext3 for /home

Any suggestion?

Thanks,
MIller

do you have the ext2 support enabled ? (built-in)

When you fsck, did you fsck by rebooting through the CD? What did the fsck program say?

livecd root #fsck /dev/hda1
fsck 1.35 (28-Feb-2004)
e2fsck 1.35 (28-Feb-2004)
/dev/hda1 was not cleanly unmounted, check forced.
Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes
Pass 2: Checking directory structure
Pass 3: Checking directory connectivity
Pass 4: Checking reference counts
Pass 5: Checking group summary information
/dev/hda1: 2745/125416 files (1.1% non-contiguous), 59985/49973 blocks

Thanks,
Miller

The last line shows something is really wrong:
59985/49973 blocks

The first number is supposed to be lower than the second number. This is more like a partition error... How did you do your partition?

Sorry, I am really sorry. This is a typo here it should be 59985/499713. Thanks

My question is why /dev/hda1 has been mounted at this time?

Thanks,

Since you said that your fstab is like what the handbook said, may I suggest you to change the options part to "0 0"? Example:

Change:
Code:
/dev/hda1   /boot     ext2    defaults        1 2

To:
Code:
/dev/hda1   /boot     ext2    defaults        0 0


All non "0 0" options should be changed to "0 0". This makes the boot partition susceptible to corruption, but it'll probably solve your problem.

Also, sometimes separating boot partition with root partition creates a problem like this. You may want to combine boot partition into root partition.

HTH.

Todd has uploaded a 2.4.22 U10/5 config here that you could probably use with make oldconfig.

Thanks for the ones who helped me.
My machine boots normally now after I change the /etc/fstab as below:


    /dev/hda1 / ext2 defaults,noatime 1 2
    /dev/hda2 none swap sw 0 0
    /dev/hda4 /usr ext3 noatime 0 1
    /dev/hda5 /var ext3 noatime 0 1
    /dev/hda6 /home ext3 noatime 0 1
    /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro 0 0

    none /proc proc defaults 0 0
    none /dev/shm tmpfs nodev,nosuid,noexec 0 0


The sparc version handbook is not bible for a new comer.
Thanks again.
