 Posted: Thu Oct 29, 2015 1:14 pm Post subject: New kernel + same boot config = kernel panic? |
 |
|
Hi, gentoomen!
I recently decided to switch kernels, but now, when I'm using a new kernel a kernel panic happens on boot saying that it is not able to find a boot device.
I was using debian 3.19 sources before, because of its stability, but then I decided to upgrade to the gentoo sources.
After downloading sources, setting up a configuration that I liked, an execution of "make install && make modules_install", initramfs generation and boot config update I try to reboot, but kernel panic happens, saying that it is unable to find a boot device at hd(0,0) (or something similar).
I then try to use my old debian 3.19 config file, but it is all vain. I thought it could be my boot config, but it is identical, except for the filenames of the kernel/initramfs to load.
here it is:
| Code: | set timeout=5
insmod part_gpt
insmod fat
set root=(hostdisk//dev/sdb,gpt1)
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 89EB-C906
if loadfont /grub/unifont.pf2; then
set gfxmode=1600x900
insmod all_video
terminal_output gfxterm
fi
set menu_color_normal=cyan/blue
set menu_color_highlight=blue/cyan
menuentry "Funtoo Linux Debian Kernel - kernel-debian-sources-x86_64-3.19.3-1~exp1" {
insmod part_gpt
insmod fat
set root=(hostdisk//dev/sdb,gpt1)
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 89EB-C906
linux /kernel-debian-sources-x86_64-3.19.3-1~exp1 rootfstype=auto real_root=UUID=c7f653bc-414b-40c1-944f-b6b0c73ecac2 rootfstype=ext4
initrd /initramfs-debian-sources-x86_64-3.19.3-1~exp1
set gfxpayload=keep
}
menuentry "Funtoo Linux Gentoo Sources - vmlinuz-4.2.2-gentoo" {
insmod part_gpt
insmod fat
set root=(hostdisk//dev/sdb,gpt1)
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 89EB-C906
linux /vmlinuz-4.2.2-gentoo rootfstype=auto real_root=UUID=c7f653bc-414b-40c1-944f-b6b0c73ecac2 rootfstype=ext4
set gfxpayload=keep
}
set default=1 |
What could be causing the kernel panic?
Thank you anticipately for your help. |

Just friendly reminder, When you use some other distribution as gentoo. YOU HAVE TO SPECIFY IT IN THE POST.
FUNTOO is definitely not gentoo. Not even loosely based gentoo.
no support for the root file system, disc controller or disc setup.
sometimes you need an initramfs to boot a box.
If you were using gentoo, i would have suggested you, to start with a genkernel kernel and initramfs and than adapt it.
you may look for a kernel seed, reuse the sysrescue-cd kernel or config....
makes sense: rootfstype=auto <= It may be the same as removing this.

makes the most sense. first you use the auto option, and than you specify it in a new line, which will be ignored. all those options have to be in the kernel line and on the same line, no line break allowed.
you may provide

Moved from Kernel & Hardware to Unsupported Software.
Not because we won't help Funtoo users but it avoids Gentoo users following a thread that may not help them.
We need the panic message quoted verbatim, or any help is likely to be as vague as your statement of the problem.
You cannot use real_root=UUID= without an initrd and your gentoo-sources grub entry does not load an initrd.
Mounting root using UUID needs the userspace mount command but thats on the root filesystem so cannot be used to mount things until root is mounted.
There are lots of things you can try.
1. Mount root using the PARTUUID
2. Use the drive/partition for root
3. make an initrd.
The first two assume that your kernel has build in support (not modules) for all the other things needed to mount root without an initrd.

Hi again, gentoomen!
Sorry for the late reply. As always, what I did was extremely retarded, - thanks to you I saw that I did not mention the initramfs in the grub config file.
Anyways, since I managed to blow up portage tree on my funtoo install (the infamous ncurses 5.9 vs 6.0 issue + funtoo profile tool not working at all) I reinstalled, - choosing gentoo this time 
Thank all of you for help. |
