 Posted: Thu Sep 01, 2005 3:01 am Post subject: Strange kernel panic on startup |
 |
|
I get the following message at the end of my startup:
| Code: |
VFS: Cannot open root device "hda13" or unknown-block(0,0)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)
|
What is going on and what did I do wrong? This is still a major victory for me: the startup gets past the blank screen just after yaboot. But still . . . it'd be nice to have a working system. And all of this because i tried getting sound to work. . . . Hrmmmmm.
Thanks in advance folks.

Now I've fixed that, but I have another resulting issue. I'm getting an error on startup after the ATA drivers and everything load that mount cannot mount my filesystem, claims wrong fs was specified. The root filesystem is ext3 and it's choosing the right one (/dev/hda13).
thanks

| Yeah I have HFS+ enabled and macintosh partition map support. I will double-check though. |

Make sure that you have ATA/IDE disk support enabled. If this is enabled, look through the messages that it prints on startup and look for errors. I can't really help you without more details.

I understand. I'm still not sure how to copy and paste the messages from startup. Is there a command that will list the last startup's log?
Here is the last thing it prints out:
| Code: |
wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on udev, or two many mounted file systems
|
Does that help? |

How about the last 5 lines? That would help a little more. If the system isn't booting, it's hard to get the log, retyping is probably the easiest.

Okay. I got it to start up. FINALLY. Now, when it starts up, the keyboard produces no output on-screen. I looked through the kernel configuration and I can't find what option it was.

to allow keyboard input during bootup, you need to include event module.
