Update for closing this thread: I finally solved the configuration
issue. Just see the last post in this thread.


My kernel panics during booting due to mount_block_root failure.

It seems the disk controller chipset driver is not configured in the kernel?
I am sure I have built the file system support in kernel.

I have config the PCI support / SCSI subsystem support / SCSI disk support , but it still doesn't help.

What configuration am I missing? Thanks.

lspci | grep SATA output :

Code:
00:1f.2 SATA controller: Intel Corporation 8 Series/C220 Series Chipset Family 6-port SATA Controller 1 [AHCI mode] (rev 04)
        Subsystem: Lenovo Device 3978


and this is my .config

Seems you have a driver enabled.
I think you should set CONFIG_DEVTMPFS_MOUNT=y

I've configured this, and I found the bootCD use ahci dirver, so I also configured it in kernel.

Code:

Isn't smp the multiprocessor? Do you have it as a module? I built it in the kernel, it might not be your hdd

Hi, all

I've solved my problem.

If you have same SATA disk as mine
Code:

00:1f.2 SATA controller: Intel Corporation 8 Series/C220 Series Chipset Family 6-port SATA Controller 1 [AHCI mode] (rev 04)
   Subsystem: Lenovo Device 3978
   Kernel driver in use: ahci


Just make sure you compile in the high level driver sd for SATA disk, and
low level driver ahci for SATA Controller.

config like below should suffice.
Code:

#
# SCSI device support
#
CONFIG_SCSI_MOD=y
# CONFIG_RAID_ATTRS is not set
CONFIG_SCSI=y
CONFIG_SCSI_DMA=y
# CONFIG_SCSI_TGT is not set
# CONFIG_SCSI_NETLINK is not set
CONFIG_SCSI_PROC_FS=y

#
# SCSI support type (disk, tape, CD-ROM)
#
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SD=y
# CONFIG_CHR_DEV_ST is not set
# CONFIG_CHR_DEV_OSST is not set

CONFIG_ATA_VERBOSE_ERROR=y
CONFIG_ATA_ACPI=y
# CONFIG_SATA_ZPODD is not set
CONFIG_SATA_PMP=y

#

#

#
# SFF controllers with custom DMA interface
#
# CONFIG_PDC_ADMA is not set
# CONFIG_SATA_QSTOR is not set
# CONFIG_SATA_SX4 is not set
CONFIG_ATA_BMDMA=y

#
# SATA SFF controllers with BMDMA
#
CONFIG_ATA_PIIX=y
# CONFIG_SATA_HIGHBANK is not set
# CONFIG_SATA_MV is not set
# CONFIG_SATA_NV is not set
# CONFIG_SATA_PROMISE is not set
# CONFIG_SATA_SIL is not set

# CONFIG_SATA_SVW is not set
# CONFIG_SATA_ULI is not set
# CONFIG_SATA_VIA is not set
# CONFIG_SATA_VITESSE is not set



**********

Generally, one could find driver for his/her specific hardware by following the
compilation wiki here: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-539024.html
and see the section Creating a kernel configuration from scratch .

And beyond that, Linux kernel core maintainer Greg Kroah-Hartman has written an
excellent book called Linux kernel in a nutshell, which is a good reference for
compilation issues.
