|
|
I keep getting a kernel panic and I suspect it is a SCSI or a SATA driver. What do you think?
It's a 3.4.9 vanilla kernel.
See the last kernel lines:
Code: | Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount rootfs on unknown-block(8,6) |
http://postimage.org/image/or6v3cco7/
/etc/fstab
Code: | # /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# noatime turns off atimes for increased performance (atimes normally aren't
# needed); notail increases performance of ReiserFS (at the expense of storage
# efficiency). It's safe to drop the noatime options if you want and to
# switch between notail / tail freely.
#
# The root filesystem should have a pass number of either 0 or 1.
# All other filesystems should have a pass number of 0 or greater than 1.
#
# See the manpage fstab(5) for more information.
#
# <fs> <mountpoint> <type> <opts> <dump/pass>
# NOTE: If your BOOT partition is ReiserFS, add the notail option to opts.
/dev/sda5 /boot ext2 noauto,noatime 1 2
/dev/sda6 / ext4 noatime 0 1
/dev/sda7 none swap sw 0 0

cristi92b,
means /dev/sda6
This tells that /dev/sda6 is not really your root filesystem or the filesystem driver is not built into the kernel or not loaded.
That is, the kernel can see /dev/sda6 but not read what it finds there.
You can try adding rootfs=ext4 to your kernel line before you do kernel surgery.
Boot to the grub screen, press 'e' navigare to the kernel line and add rootfs=ext4
Now allow the boot to continue.
You have only edited the grub.conf in RAM. If it works, edit the on disk grub.conf. _________________ Regards,

Same result...
ext2, ext3, ext4 and xfs are included in the kernel and not as modules.

cristi92b,
Your panic image shows /dev/sdb with exactly seven partitions. Unfortunately, the information for /dev/sda has been cut off the top of the image.
Does /dev/sda have 7 or more partitions too?
if you change to root=/dev/sdb6 does it get further?
Unless you change /etc/fstab too, it will fail on the rootfsck and root will stay read only, so its harmless to check with the press 'e' at the splash screen method. _________________ Regards,

A while ago ext4 was exhibiting problems like yours when ext2,3,4 were selected independently as in your config and
Code: | < > Second extended fs support
< > Ext3 journalling file system support
<*> The Extended 4 (ext4) filesystem
[*] Use ext4 for ext2/ext3 file systems (NEW)
[*] Ext4 extended attributes (NEW)
[ ] Ext4 POSIX Access Control Lists (NEW)
[ ] Ext4 Security Labels (NEW)
[ ] EXT4 debugging support (NEW)
[ ] JBD2 (ext4) debugging support (NEW) | was a solution
booting cd and posting results of fdisk -l might be helpful _________________ Defund the FCC. |

It works!!! And I think I know why this happened, I had an USB drive connected during the gentoo installation. Maybe recompiling the kernell will solve this.
Thank you very much!!!
Yes, /dev/sda should have 7 partitions if it's the HDD.
On gentoo tty1: fdisk -l
/dev/sda appears to have 8MB and no partition table, Disk identifier: 0x00000000
/dev/sdb has 7 partitions.
See picture:
http://postimage.org/image/yije876lj/
-----------
Live CD fdisk gives the expected result, only sda, no sdb.
I recompiled the kernel but it only works with sdb as HDD. I have no idea what is the 8mb "device".
-----------
I found someting:
http://michael-prokop.at/blog/2010/02/04/the-mysterious-8mb-block-device-on-linux/
-----------
I marked the theread as solved, thank you again!!! |

is your hard drive a seagate momentus? or any other brand of "hybrid" hard drive? _________________ Defund the FCC. |
